Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftover steak, shrimp, and mashed potatoes in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat steak gently in a skillet over low heat to prevent overcooking.

Warm shrimp briefly in a skillet or microwave just until heated through.

Reheat mashed potatoes with a splash of milk or cream to restore their creamy texture.

Avoid freezing cooked shrimp, as it may become rubbery after thawing.
