Buttery Fingers

A decadent macaroni and cheese dish with shrimp and or crab, baked to perfection in a rich, cheesy sauce.

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the elbow macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Cook the Macaroni

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the flour and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Prepare the Cheese Sauce

Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Make it Creamy

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the cheddar, gruyere, and parmesan cheeses until melted and smooth. Season with paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Add the Cheeses

Fold in the cooked macaroni, shrimp, and crab meat into the cheese sauce, mixing until well combined.

Combine with Seafood

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish and sprinkle the top with bread crumbs and fresh parsley.

Prepare for Baking

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Bake

Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Seafood Mac N Cheese!
