Notes

STORAGE AND REHEAT INSTRUCTIONS

Seafood boils stay fresh in the fridge for up to 2 days, but don't freeze it. It won't come out at its best quality.
To reheat the next day, put the seafood into a baking dish and warm in the oven at a low temperature, around 325 degrees F, until warmed through.
