Epic. Fail. I just hate when that happens. Valentine’s Day dinner for the family is usually a lovely event, with heart shaped bits here and there. This year, I was craving a shrimp and crab pasta with a buttery white wine sauce. Sounds good, right? If you love seafood, it should sound good. I found a recipe online with four and a half stars, which made me believe it was worth trying. Unfortunately, at my house, it did not rate even one star. The white wine actually made the sauce taste beer-like, in a harsh way, and with just the lemon zest but no lemon juice, it didn’t have enough depth. I doctored it up as best as I could, since the seafood was very fresh and the heart shaped pasta was so cute, but the sauce, ugh, I will never use that particular recipe again. Major bummer, but it happens. Luckily, tomorrow is another day…
