Garlic Shrimp Mac And Cheese Prawns Recipes

GARLIC SHRIMP MAC AND CHEESE (PRAWNS)

Steps:

• Preheat broiler/grill on high.
• Mix together Breadcrumb Topping.
• Heat oil and melt 1 tbsp butter in a large, deep skillet or heatproof pot on the stove over high heat.
• Add shrimp, sprinkle with pepper, then cook for 1 minute. Add garlic and cook for another minute until the shrimp has changed colour but not fully cooked.
• Transfer to bowl. Turn heat down to medium.
• Melt remaining butter. Add flour and cook for 1 minute.
• Pour milk in slowly, stirring as you go. Once incorporated and lump free (use whisk if needed), stir in Seasonings, then water.
• Once the liquid is hot, add macaroni. Cook for 8 minutes, stirring regularly, until macaroni is almost cooked through, then take it off the stove.
• Add cheeses and stir through, then add shrimp. Taste for salt - tweak if needed. It should be saucy (see video) - it gets absorbed. Should still be saucy at this stage - sauce gets absorbed/thickens more in next step.
• Sprinkle over breadcrumbs, then place under the hot grill for just 2 - 3 minutes until the top is golden.
• Sprinkle with parsley if desired and served immediately!
