Questions

How long does this recipe keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within two days (seafood turns fast). Reheat covered in a 300 F oven until warmed through. It also freezes well for up to three months.

Can I halve or double this recipe?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, split it across two pans and rotate them halfway; one crowded pan bakes unevenly.
