For best results, use fresh lemon juice for a brighter flavor. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your personal heat preference. A little goes a long way! If you don't have a grill, these pork chops can also be cooked in a skillet over medium-high heat or broiled in the oven. Serve with rice and peas and grilled vegetables for a complete Caribbean-inspired meal.
