👨‍🍳 Quick-Step Cooking Guide

  1. Sear Steaks: Room temp → season → sear 3–4 mins per side → baste → rest under foil

🍽️ Tips for Perfection

  • Use large shrimp (16–20 count) for juicy texture
  • Don’t clean the pan before making sauce—those browned bits = flavor
  • Add chopped parsley, green onions, or a lemon squeeze to brighten
  • Pair with garlic mashed potatoes or steamed greens for balance

🧊 Storage & Reheat

Store Up to 3 days in fridge in airtight container
Reheat (Stovetop) Low heat, stir gently, add splash of cream if needed
Reheat (Microwave) 50% power in 30-sec intervals, stir frequently

⚠️ Not freezer-friendly due to cream and delicate shrimp texture.
