For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a clove of minced garlic to the sauce while it simmers.
If you don't have fresh lemon or lime zest on hand, you can use dried zest, but fresh is preferred for the best flavor.
To make this dish even more substantial, add grilled shrimp, sautéed scallops, or some grilled chicken breast.
