Instructions

Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a small pan over medium heat.
Measure in the onions. Let them cook until they are soft and transparent, about 2-3 minutes.
Add in the Brazilian sofrito and sautee until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Pour in the wine and the thyme. Cook until the wine has mostly cooked out.
Remove the thyme and discard, then add the capers, the lime juice, and the rest of the butter. Stir until the butter has melted.
Give it a taste. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Turn off the heat. Add the parsley and the lime zest. Stir to incorporate.
Serve over fish, shrimp or your favorite protein. (This works great with chicken, too!)

Bom Apetite!!
