Seafood Mac And Cheese Recipes

SEAFOOD MAC AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375F.
• Coat a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray (or lightly coat it with butter).
• Cook the pasta just to al dente, according to the package directions.
• Meanwhile, melt 6 tbsp of the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the flour, then whisk constantly until it's fully combined, about 30 seconds. Slowly add the milk and cream, whisking constantly, until it's combined and smooth, about one minute more. Reduce the heat to low.
• Stir in the shredded cheeses, one handful at a time, stirring to combine completely between additions. Remove from the heat and gently stir in the cooked pasta and lobster meat. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
• Melt the remaining 2 tbsp butter and mix it with the panko bread crumbs. Sprinkle them on top of the mac and cheese.
• Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the seafood mac and cheese is hot throughout and the breadcrumbs are golden brown. Serve immediately.
