I could eat seafood morning, noon, and night. No lie, babe, there’s nothing better! And though many would pull out a gorgeous beef filet recipe (which you totally could and this one is amazingly decadent!), MY love language is sweet succulent seafood. Shrimp. Crab. Put a plate of that goodness in front of me and I’m putty in your hands.

That’s why this is my version of The Most Romantic Appetizer for Valentine’s Day!
