Shrimp Macaroni and Cheese

Shrimp Macaroni and Cheese

Shrimp Macaroni and Cheese is rich and crazy creamy loaded with juicy, cajun shrimp and buttery panko topping.  It’s super easy to make but tastes like you’re dining at the finest restaurant!

How do you make America’s favorite Macaroni and Cheese even better?!  Add flavorful, juicy shrimp!

This Shrimp Macaroni and cheese is one of the most comforting, decadent, cravilious foods on the planet.  It boasts a subtle heat from the Cajun seasoning and not-so-subtle ooegy, gooey, cheesiness.

The cheese remains wonderfully silky because instead of using just a roux to create the sauce!

I also use evaporated milk whisked with some cornstarch to stabilize the silkiness that doesn’t separate or curdle when baked!

Hi all, its Jen from Carlsbad Cravings and I am excited to be with you again sharing another delicious shrimp and pasta recipe.

This velvety Cajun Shrimp Macaroni and Cheese was inspired by my Million Dollar Macaroni and Cheese Casserole that is sooooo creamy, and cheesy that I wanted to make a skillet version but with plump, flavorful shrimp.

Helpful Tips to make Cajun Shrimp Macaroni and Cheese:

• I suggest medium uncooked shrimp that has already been peeled and deveined.  Buying prepared shrimp makes your job a snap because all you have to do is defrost the shrimp.  You could also substitute chopped, uncooked chicken. 
• Feel free to mix up the cheeses!  I love gruyere for this Shrimp Macaroni and Cheese because it melts beautifully and for it’s sweet yet sharp, caramelly, nutty, buttery taste.  Monterrey Jack cheese would also be delicious.  You need 4 cups of cheese total so mix and match to reach 4 cups.
• The spice level for this recipe is completely customizable.  As written, I find 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper to be medium heat and 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper to be on the spicy side as you would expect from a Cajun pasta.  If you don’t want any heat, just flavor, then omit the cayenne pepper.

What you will need to make Cajun Shrimp Macaroni and Cheese:

• Wide Oven Proof Pan – a 4-quart braiser is one of my favorite pans. It is wide and shallow and perfect for stove to oven recipes!  Using a wide pan gives more surface area so your pot will heat more evenly and cook faster.
• Cheese Grater - this kitchen tool gets more love than almost any other tool in my kitchen because I am a huge proponent of FRESHLY grated cheese because not only does it taste better, it melts beautifully.  A quality cheese grater saves you time and hassle and will go the distance!

Enjoy!

With love from our simple kitchen to yours.

Topping (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Cook pasta in salted water according to package directions, just until al dente.  Strain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
3. Add shrimp to a medium bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning.
4. Melt 1 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large (3.5 qt) oven proof sauté pan over medium-high heat.  Add shrimp in an even layer and cook 2-3 minutes, flip over and continue to cook 2-3 minutes or until until cooked through.  Remove shrimp to a cutting board.  When cool enough to handle, cut into thirds.  Set aside.

Loaded Mac and Cheese (Instant Pot)

Loaded Mac and Cheese (Instant Pot)

Loaded mac and cheese made in an Instant Pot pressure cooker is perfect, with creamy cheese sauce! Make this recipe for your comfort food cravings!

 

If you're a fan of mac and cheese, you will definitely want to check out a few of my other recipes.

Shrimp macaroni and cheese is rich and crazy creamy loaded with juicy cajun shrimp and a panko topping.

Or, my lazy mac and cheese is the ultimate comfort food made simple for your busiest night.

Beer bacon mac and cheese goes from plate to prep in just 25 minutes. I can't stop at just one bowl.

Finally, slow cooker mac and cheese is made with 4 types of cheese and easily made in your crockpot.

Loaded mac n cheese ingredients + substitutions

This loaded mac and cheese is a decadent side dish that is full of bacon, jalapenos, and three types of cheese.

You will need cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese to make this Instant Pot mac n cheese recipe.

It has a crunchy topping of panko bread crumbs.

If you don't have all of the ingredients I've listed here, you can still make this loaded mac and cheese recipe.

Instead of bacon, you can substitute cubed ham.

If you want to try a different type of cheese, a few other suggestions that taste good in pressure cooker mac and cheese are Gouda, Monterey Jack, and cream cheese.

And, if you do not have jalapenos, you can add chopped green onions or chives instead. This is also a good substitution for people who don't like food that is spicy.

If you want to make this loaded mac and cheese recipe in the oven, you can do that as well. Take out the 4 cups of water and the uncooked elbow macaroni.

Cook the macaroni on the stove and drain it. And, proceed with the recipe as written. Bake at 350F for 40 to 45 minutes until it's bubbly all around.

 

Tools to make loaded mac and cheese

• Instant Pot - this is the one I use
• Box grater

Recipe tips

Will any type of pasta work for this recipe? 

You can easily substitute shells or another type of pasta for elbow macaroni in this recipe. It requires no other changes to the recipe.

A few popular pasta substitutions in loaded mac and cheese are farfalle (bow ties), rigatoni, and penne.

But, almost any medium-sized macaroni with nooks and crannies for the sauce will work as well.

 

Best cheese to use for mac and cheese 

Almost any type of cheese that melts well will work for mac and cheese.

A few of my favorites are cheddar, Monterey Jack, Gouda, cream cheese, Parmesan, mozzarella, and Gruyere.

Avoid using cheese that is extra sharp. That can result in an oily cheese sauce due to the change in protein as it ages.

Instead, look for a mild or regular sharp cheddar cheese.

When making this recipe, you will get a much better final result if you shred it yourself rather than purchase cheese that is pre-shredded.

Many pre-shredded types of cheese have a powder coating on them that prevents them from sticking together. And, it makes your cheese sauce grainy which doesn't result in a good final product.

How to store leftovers

If you have leftovers, you can easily store loaded mac and cheese to enjoy another night. Just place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

They will stay good for 3 to 5 days that way. If you want to store them for a longer period, you can put it in the freezer in a freezer container.

It will be good for up to 6 months if you freeze it.

To reheat your leftovers, thaw the mac and cheese overnight in the refrigerator.

Then, place the leftovers in an oven-safe dish. Add one tablespoon of milk for every cup of leftovers. Stir it up if possible.

Cover the dish with foil and bake it for 20 to 30 minutes at 350F. This recipe is just as good reheated as it was the first time you enjoyed it.

Enjoy!

Creamy Cheese Sauce Recipe with 3 Cheeses! + Video

Creamy Cheese Sauce Recipe with 3 Cheeses! + Video

This creamy cheese sauce recipe uses 3 cheeses, making it perfect on pasta, vegetables, or as a dip. Make this recipe soon, for any reason!

The love for cheese is strong here on TSRI!

One of our most popular recipes is a copycat recipe for Cheddar Bay Biscuits.Who can possibly resist flaky, buttery biscuits with cheese baked into the dough? Not us!

Another favorite recipe that y’all seem to love is our Shrimp Mac and Cheese. Actually, we have 15 mac and cheese recipes!

The base for almost every cheesy pasta dish we make is this simple homemade cheese sauce, made from scratch in 10 minutes!

Some cheesy facts

If you believe that cheese makes everything taste better, you are not alone! There is proof of that in these numbers.

In 2019, Americans consumed an average of 37 pounds of cheese per person.

While that may seem like a lot of cheese, it pales in comparison to the country of Denmark. The citizens of that country each eat an average of 62 pounds of cheese every year!

What you’ll need for this cheese sauce recipe

Note: This is just a partial list of ingredients. For a full ingredient list, with amounts, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

• Roux: All cheese sauce recipes start with a roux (pronounced ROO). This is a fancy French cooking term for a thickener made with equal parts of a fat (usually butter) and all-purpose flour.
• Milk: You need to add liquid to roux to create a pourable sauce. In the case of cheese sauce, the liquid is milk. You can use any type you prefer, but using milk with a higher percentage of fat, like whole milk or half & half, will give you the best results.
• Cheeses: Although this is a simple cheese sauce, we use three types of cheese. Not only do they add flavor, but each one of them adds an extra layer of creaminess to the sauce.

Velveeta cheese is the perfect choice for a creamy cheese sauce. For the best flavor, we use pepper jack and cheddar cheese.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
To ensure that you have the creamiest sauce possible, buy blocks of cheese and shred them yourself.

This is because packages of shredded cheese have a chemical on them that prevents the shreds from clumping together.

Unfortunately, this chemical also prevents the cheese from melting well.

KITCHEN TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT

• Box grater - I use this for shredding cheese, but also for shredding vegetables like carrots, for carrot cake, or zucchini for zucchini bread. 
• 2-quart saucepan
• Wire whisk

Tips for making creamy cheese sauce

1. Incorporate the milk slowly. If you add all of the milk to the roux at one time, the butter will not combine with the milk to thicken the sauce. As a result, the sauce will be thin and you will notice butter floating on the top of it.
2. Add the cheese a little at a time. When making cheese sauces and cheese-based soups, be sure to add the cheese slowly, and add it at the end of the cooking time. 
3. Use low heat. Also, always cook and reheat the sauce over low and slow heat. To maintain a smooth consistency and prevent graininess, using low heat is absolutely necessary.

Uses and Serving Suggestions

You can make the sauce to use in a lot of different ways! Here are just a few ideas:

• Veggies - Use the cheese sauce for cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, or any other veggies. Picky eaters will gobble them up!
• Pasta - Use it to make macaroni and cheese, or serve it over any other type of pasta or noodles
• Breakfast - Serve over scrambled eggs or hashbrowns for breakfast or brunch.
• Loaded baked potatoes - Top a smoked baked potato or air fryer baked potato with some of this creamy sauce, some crumbled crispy bacon, sour cream, and chives!
• Nachos - it really needs no explanation but my favorite nachos ever are: pulled pork on tortilla chips with baked beans and this cheese sauce! Add a few jalapenos and a drizzle of barbecue sauce and you'll be in heaven.
  

Enjoy!

Creamy Cheese Sauce Recipe with 3 Cheeses!

This creamy cheese sauce recipe uses 3 cheeses, making it perfect on pasta, vegetables, or as a dip. Make this recipe soon, for any reason!

Prep time: 5 MCook time: 5MTotal time: 10 M

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 1/2 cups whole milk
• 1/2 cup freshly shredded pepper Jack cheese
• 1/2 cup freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 8 oz Velveeta cheese, cut into chunks

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. 
2. Add the flour, salt and cayenne pepper and whisk to combine. Cook for 1 minute to cook out the floury taste. Don’t skip this step. Trust me, floury sauce is not tasty, and cooking it for a minute will also brown the flour, adding a slight nuttiness to your cheese sauce.
3. Add the milk, whisking constantly. Simmer until the sauce begins to steam, about 3 minutes. Decrease the heat to low. 
4. Add the cheeses a handful at a time, whisking after each addition until the cheese melts into the sauce. Lift your whisk out of the sauce. If there are still cheese shreds on the whisk, keep stirring. Continue adding the cheese and whisking until all the cheese is melted into the sauce, and then stir the sauce until it’s well-combined.
5. The sauce will keep in the refrigerator in a mason jar for 3 to 4 days.

DONNA'S NOTES

1. When making cheese sauces and cheese-based soups, be sure to add the cheese slowly over low heat, or your sauce could become grainy. Reheat cheese sauces and soups low and slow to maintain the smooth texture.

Helpful Tips to make Broccoli Cheese Pasta Salad:

• As a shortcut you can buy the precut broccoli. Usually the pieces are still a bit larger than I prefer so I trim the stems and large florets. In a pinch this can save you some time.
• Add in extra veggies to bulk up this pasta salad even more. Fresh spinach, onions, zucchini, olives or tomatoes would all be great additions.
• Use your preferred pasta. I like campanelle pasta for this salad but, most any pasta will work just as well.
• Transfer the hot, drained pasta directly over the prepared broccoli to make it slightly tender. If you prefer the broccoli to be even more tender, place it in the colander and pour the pasta/water directly over it. This will cook it slightly.
• I prefer to cook bacon in the oven. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick. Lay bacon flat on pan. Bake at 375ºF for approximately 15-20 minutes.

What you will need to make Broccoli Cheese Pasta Salad:

• Large Colander- You will need this to drain the pasta.
• Sharp Knife- This recipe requires some chopping. A good, sharp knife is always handy to have in the kitchen.
• Measuring Cup- You want to get the dressing measured and mixed up completely before adding into the pasta salad.

Enjoy!
