Instructions:

• Leftover Love: If you happen to have leftovers (though they’re so good, leftovers might be rare!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The flavors will continue to develop, making for an even tastier meal the next day.

• Customize Your Marinade: Feel free to customize the marinade to your taste! Add a pinch of chili flakes for some heat, a splash of lime juice for brightness, or a dash of garlic powder for extra depth of flavor. The options are endless!
