I want to make this...


Seafood Mac & Cheese



  • 2 tablespoons of butter

  • 1/3 cup flour

  • 3 cups milk

  • 1 pound frozen cooked shrimp, thawed and chopped

  • 1 pound pasta (use a pasta that will hold the cheese, like elbows or fusilli)

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar

  • ½ cup Panko breadcrumbs

  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh chives (optional)

  • 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley

  • Salt & pepper to taste

Cook the pasta in a large salted pot of water until al dente. While the pasta is cooking take a large sauce pan and heat the butter until melted, stir in the flour. When mixture thickens add in the milk and cook until mixture thickens. About 5 minutes. Drain the pasta and add it to the large sauce pan. Add in the cheddar, parmesan cheese and chopped shrimp and gently stir. Add salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a greased 9x13 inch pan or individual ramekins. In the microwave melt the butter. Add it to the panko breadcrumbs. Add in chives, parsley and stir to combine. Sprinkle over the top of the pasta . Bake for 25 – 30 minutes at 400. Check your ramekins at the 15 - 20 minute mark. Let cool 5 minutes and serve.
