How to Store Leftovers

If you have any leftovers (though it’s unlikely!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop until heated through.

Food and Drink Pairings

For a truly decadent meal, pair your Steak and Shrimp with a rich, full-bodied red wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot. If you prefer something lighter, a crisp Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc will also complement the flavors beautifully. As for sides, consider serving with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh garden salad.
