In a large skillet or pot over medium heat, melt the butter or margarine

Add lemon juice and adjust seasonings again, if necessary.

Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
Add the white wine and return to the boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.

over rice and top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
