Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the macaroni

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the cheese sauce

    In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until lightly golden. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.

  3. 3

    Add the cheeses

    Remove the pot from heat and stir in the cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine macaroni and shrimp

    Add the cooked macaroni and shrimp to the cheese sauce. Stir well to combine. Cook over low heat for 3-4 minutes until the shrimp is cooked through and pink.

  5. 5

    Bake the mac

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mac and cheese mixture to a baking dish. Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden and crispy.
