Steps:
- Heat olive oil over medium heat.
- add garlic and shallots - cook for 30-40 seconds.
- Add lime juice, pineapple juice, mango , and parsley - cook down for about 5-7 minutes.
- In the last minute of cooking, add butter and jalapeno pepper and stir until butter is melted.
- Serve over grilled fish or chicken.
- Just a Note:I tried this recipe with cilantro instead of flatleaf parsley and found only minor differences. With the flatleaf parsley, I found that the sauce was mild and acted as a flavor enhancer to the fish (grouper). With the cilantro, I noticed it brought out a bright and robust flavor to the sauce and tasted quite nicely in contrast to the mild grouper. Either way, I found it very tasty!

SWEET AND SOUR TROPICAL STIR FRY CHICKEN
My mother brought a bunch of grapefruits last weekend, and, honestly, I'm not a big fan of grapefruit unless it's loaded with sugar. I scoured the internet and my cookbooks for ideas of how to incorporate grapefruit into a main dish and came up with this recipe. You can sub your favorite sweet and sour sauce.

Steps:
- Rub the chicken breasts with the jerk seasoning, salt, and the black pepper. In a medium saute pan, add the olive oil, and place it over high heat. When the oil is almost smoking, add the chicken breasts, turn the heat down to medium-high and continue searing on both sides until the chicken is golden brown and thoroughly cooked, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken from the pan to a cutting board and let the chicken cool. When it's cool enough to handle comfortably, slice the chicken breasts into 1/4-inch strips.
- Cover a bamboo mat or sheet of foil with plastic wrap. Place a sheet of nori on top. With water-moistened hands, spread 1 cup of the cooked rice evenly on top of the seaweed leaving about a 1/4-inch border at the top and bottom edges. Press the rice firmly on the nori. Leaving the plastic wrap in place on the mat, turn the sushi layer over so that the seaweed faces up and the rice faces down.
- Arrange 1/4 of the chicken strips, mango and avocado slices, and cucumber on top the seaweed so the ingredients form a neat narrow row that aligns with the edge of the nori square closest to you. Roll the bamboo mat forward (making sure the plastic wrap stays with the mat), pressing the ingredients inside the cylinder-shaped sushi. Press the bamboo mat firmly with both hands to shape the sushi, and then remove the mat. Repeat the process with remaining ingredients to make three more rolls. Place the sesame seeds on a plate. Roll the sushi in the sesame seeds until coated. Using a sharp serrated knife, moistened with water, cut the sushi rolls into 1-inch rounds. Serve the rolls with soy sauce and wasabi or with the Avocado Tzatziki.
