Tropical Citrus Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
    2 garlic cloves
    3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
    3 tablespoons pineapple juice
    1/2 cup cubed mango
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or 1 tablespoon cilantro
    1 chopped shallot
    2 tablespoons butter
    1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
Preparation
    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!
