Shrimp Sharp Mac and Cheese

What a creative boyfriend! This one was all his idea. What's better with Mac and Cheese then some shrimp? Have you created recipes out of the remaining ingredients in your home? Please share.



As I was preparing for cooking blogs that are coming up, I thought to myself why do I do this?! Does anyone actually enjoy reading these or am I wasting my time? Maybe I do it to keep a record of recipes (modern cookbook) or enjoy reading them later (modern journal).

I came to the conclusion that it's a mix; however, I do know one thing...I'm building memories with my boyfriend. I truly enjoy every minute of cooking with him. We laugh, learn about each other, and enjoy the process of putting together a tasty meal and have a great time doing it. I've come to the conclusion that cooking in the kitchen can be kinda romantic. Give it a try!

Ingredients:

Bag of frozen shrimp

1 cup if sharp cheese

1 cup of milk

1 tbs of flour

Recipe:

Step 1: Thaw Shrimp by placing a strainer with shrimp on top a bowl of cold tap water.

Step 2: Boil water for the pasta. Cook the pasta according to the directions on the box.

Step 3: Once the shrimp has thawed placed in a frying pan with some olive oil or vegetable oil and saute till pink.


Step 4: Add pasta to a baking dish (casserole dish), and add the shrimp.

Step 5: Add the milk, cheese and flour to the sauce pan. Cook until it's thickened and all the cheese has melted. Add any additional seasonings you'd like (salt, pepper etc).

Step 6: Add the cheese sauce on top of the pasta and shrimp.

Step 7: Add the Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs and top with melted butter (this helps it brown).
