While the seafood contributes a delightfully oceanic richness, the creamy cheese sauce envelops the properly cooked pasta like a warm blanket. The use of cheddar, Gruyere (or Swiss), and Parmesan cheese in dish results in a taste profile that is nutty, sharp, and savory all at the same time, which is why everyone enjoys this dinner so much!

TO CREATE THIS FLAVORFUL SEAFOOD MAC AND CHEESE, GATHER THE FOLLOWING

INGREDIENTS:

12-oz.Of pasta (elbow macaroni or any pasta of your choice).

1 lb.Of mixed seafood ( I used; shrimp, crab, or lobster).

4 Tbsp.Of unsalted butter.

1/4 Cup.Of all-purpose flour.

3 Cups.Of whole milk.

PREPARING THE SEAFOOD MAC AND CHEESE:

1st Step

Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package until al dente. Drain and reserve.

2nd Step

Over medium heat, soften two tablespoons of butter in a large skillet. Add the seafood to the pan and simmer until fully cooked. This typically takes between three and five minutes, depending on the type of seafood used. Take the seafood out of the pan and set it aside.

3rd Step

Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Continuously whisk in the flour until a uniform mixture, known as a roux, forms. Pour the milk in gradually while whisking continuously to prevent clots from forming. Reduce the mixture until it thickens and simmers.

4th Step

Turn the thermostat down to medium. Add cheddar cheese shreds, Gruyere (or Swiss) cheese, and Parmesan cheese gratings to the saucepan.

5th Step

Stir until the cheese has dissolved completely and the sauce has become smooth. Add garlic, onion, paprika, salt, and pepper. Taste the dish and adjust the seasonings to your liking.

6th Step

Heat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Combine the cooked linguine, sautéed seafood, and cheese sauce in a large mixing basin. Stir gently until all ingredients are evenly coated.

7th Step

Place the mixture in an oiled baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the surface is golden brown and steaming.
