The sauce is awful. We were so excited to make dinner and it just didn't taste good. Veggies were fine, seafood superb (didn't use the microwave either- stovetop for everything), but the sauce was just terrible. I think it was the combination of lemon and chicken broth that worked against the dish.

Both my husband and I agreed that microwaving seafood is just BAD...so we cooked the shrimp and scallops first then added the other ingredients. It was very good!!
