Seafood
Growing up we never ate much seafood at home, but in the year before I went to university the family went to Mexico and it was there that I got a real education in a type of food I had never tried before. On that trip, I was introduced to a lot of seafood, but this seafood pasta recipe was one that i asked for from one of the chefs. It is a simple pasta salad that uses delicate flavourings to enhance the taste of the crab. This is the perfect dish to enjoy if you want a fancier dish at home or something to impress dinner guests.
