Seafood Mac and Cheese Recipe
Seafood Mac and Cheese Recipe the perfect comfort food when you are craving pasta but want it a little fancy.
Ingredients
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup each shrimp imitation crab, and fish (I use half a costco filet and sometimes I use bay scallops whatever sounds good to you will work)
- Old Bay Seasoning
- 3 TBS butter divided
- 2 TBS flour
- 1 C milk
- 4 ounces dry pasta
- 1/2 to 1 C cheese I like to use a slice of Munster and then a big handful of colby jack
- Onion Powder and Salt to taste
- Panko bread crumbs for topping
- Spray Oil like Pam
Instructions
- Start water boiling for pasta. When boiling add pasta to cook
- If any of your seafood is raw cook it in 1 TBS butter once almost cooked through add the rest of the seafood and a sprinkling of Old Bay seasoning to taste. Remove from pan.
- Using the same pan add remaining butter over medium heat and flour to make a roux.
- Slowly add milk while stirring to make a cream sauce.
- Add cheese and melt though.
- Add seafood mix.
- Add salt and onion powder to taste.
- Next add 1/8 to 1/4 C pasta water and pasta reserving water in case you want it thinner.
- You can serve it now as a saucy pasta but what I think makes this special is this next step. Pour into casserole dish. Cover generously with Panko breadcrumbs. Spray with Pam and broil until crisp.
