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.

- 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.

Steps:
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small skillet over medium heat until foamy but not brown. Stir in the panko, 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the panko is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley; set aside.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions. Strain, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water. Set aside.
- Heat the half-and-half in a large saucepan over medium heat until it just comes to a simmer. Continue simmering until the half-and-half is reduced to 2 cups, about 5 minutes. Add the cream cheese and cook, stirring, until melted. Whisk in the Italian cheese blend until all the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Turn off the heat and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Pour in the wine and reduce until the alcohol smell is no longer present and the sauce is a nice golden color, about 2 minutes. Stir in the shrimp and lemon zest and cook, stirring, until the shrimp are pink and just cooked through, about 2 minutes; sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and set aside.
- Add the pasta and shrimp mixture to the cheese sauce and stir to combine. Stir in some of the reserved pasta water to thin the sauce if needed. Season to taste with salt if needed. Spoon the hot mac and cheese into bowls and sprinkle with the parsley panko.
SHRIMP MAC-N-CHEESE
I had some shrimp and other various items in the pantry, and the result was this recipe. My family loved it, which is my best indicator of whether or not it's worth making again. Don't be afraid to add other ingredients if that's what you have on hand.

SHRIMP MAC AND CHEESE
This macaroni and cheese takes on a subtle coastal flair with the addition of shrimp. I used cooked salad shrimp as I found the size comparable to the elbow macaroni.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Prepare the butterfly shrimp according to the package directions for the oven. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions for al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain well and reserve.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chile and cook until just tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the flour until completely moistened and bubbling, about 1 minute. While whisking continuously, slowly pour in the milk and continue to simmer until creamy and thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and whisk in the Parmesan, mascarpone, cayenne and 1 teaspoon salt until smooth. Whisk in 1 1/2 cups of the Muenster cheese until completely melted and smooth. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the reserved pasta until evenly combined.
- Top the mac and cheese with the remaining 1/2 cup Muenster cheese, then place the butterfly shrimp in a concentric circle on top, tails facing up. (You may need to shingle or overlap the shrimp slightly so they all fit in the skillet.)
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the cheese is completely melted and the shrimp are warmed through, 4 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with another pinch of cayenne and some chopped parsley.
