For a deeper flavor, try browning the butter before adding the other ingredients. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the level of spice. Chayote squash can be slightly bland, so don't be afraid to season generously. A squeeze of fresh lime juice at the end can add a bright, acidic counterpoint to the dish.
