Steps:
- Put the milk and macaroni in a small saucepan and bring the milk to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to keep the macaroni from clumping. Simmer until the macaroni is tender and the milk has thickened to the consistency of heavy cream, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat, add the Monterrey Jack, mozzarella, cream cheese, butter, 1 packet of the ranch seasoning (8 teaspoons) and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and stir until smooth, thick and creamy. Transfer the mixture to a shallow bowl and cool to room temperature to stiffen up.
- Meanwhile, put the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs into 3 separate shallow dishes and season each with salt and pepper.
- Using a 1-ounce ice cream scoop or 2 tablespoons, scoop out balls of the cooled macaroni mixture and put them on a baking sheet. Roll each ball in your hand until smooth, then dredge in the flour, dip in the eggs to coat and roll in the breadcrumbs until completely covered. Put the balls back on the baking sheet and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.
- Pour enough oil into a large heavy pot to come 2 inches up the side and attach a deep-frying thermometer to the pot. Heat the oil over medium heat to 360 degrees F.
- Working in batches, fry the balls until golden brown on the outside and heated through inside, about 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, lift the balls from the oil and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Stir together the mayonnaise, buttermilk and remaining packet ranch seasoning in a small bowl until smooth. Transfer the mac 'n' cheese balls to a serving platter, drizzle with some of the dressing and serve with the remaining dressing on the side for dipping.

Steps:
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small skillet over medium heat until foamy but not brown. Stir in the panko, 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the panko is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley; set aside.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions. Strain, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water. Set aside.
- Heat the half-and-half in a large saucepan over medium heat until it just comes to a simmer. Continue simmering until the half-and-half is reduced to 2 cups, about 5 minutes. Add the cream cheese and cook, stirring, until melted. Whisk in the Italian cheese blend until all the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Turn off the heat and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Pour in the wine and reduce until the alcohol smell is no longer present and the sauce is a nice golden color, about 2 minutes. Stir in the shrimp and lemon zest and cook, stirring, until the shrimp are pink and just cooked through, about 2 minutes; sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and set aside.
- Add the pasta and shrimp mixture to the cheese sauce and stir to combine. Stir in some of the reserved pasta water to thin the sauce if needed. Season to taste with salt if needed. Spoon the hot mac and cheese into bowls and sprinkle with the parsley panko.

SHRIMP MAC AND CHEESE
This macaroni and cheese takes on a subtle coastal flair with the addition of shrimp. I used cooked salad shrimp as I found the size comparable to the elbow macaroni.

CAJUN SHRIMP BALLS
The Acadians of Louisiana, also known as Cajuns, are especially innovative cooks who learned to make good use of whatever was on hand. Crawfish balls are a favorite of Cajuns, but since these delicate little critters are not easy to come by in other parts of the country, shrimp is used in this recipe. Served hot, they're a fine first course or appetizer to enjoy with drinks. If you wish, serve with remoulade sauce. From an old newspaper clipping.
