Hope everyone had a great Valentines! Justin and I just celebrated our first as newlyweds, and he went all out for it!
He’s always amazing at cooking, but since it was such a big occasion, he decided that he really wanted to make something incredible and special for our Valentine’s Dinner! And, of course, I was there to take pictures of the whole event!
We went to Hill’s Seafood (an awesome small chain that sells SUPER fresh seafood, check it out!) to get scallops and lobster tails and then ran over to Wegman’s to get blood oranges, shallots and the other fresh ingredients he needed to make two of the dishes he was planning on!
Recipes of both dishes can be found on the two links at the end of this post!
Here’s some photos of the master chef at work (he’s such a cutie):

saying to me, “I hope you’re not trying to eat healthy tonight” as he drops an entire stick of butter into the sauce!

The amazing scallop gumbo (I didn’t even like scallops before this!)

Our unsophisticated glasses of mango margharitas

The awesome blood oranges, what a cool looking citrus!

Ready to be eaten! Yummmmm!

Try them out, they are incredibly yummy and I’m STILL bragging about my hubby to everyone within earshot!
