Easy Baked Shrimp Mac and Cheese
Ingredients
  • I eliminated any need for chopping with this recipe, besides the optional parsley garnish. Instead of using fresh garlic and onion, I opted for jars from the spice drawer. This is a fabulous dish - you’re gonna love it!
  • subheading: Here’s what you’ll need:
  • Pasta - We’re Cavatappi fans, so that’s what we use most often. But elbow or another shorter, similarly sized pasta would also work great.
  • Butter - I always recommend unsalted, so you can control the salt.
  • Garlic powder - Be careful to grab “garlic powder”, not “garlic salt”!
  • Onion powder - Same advice as above. Onion salt would just add way too much salt!
  • Cayenne pepper - This gives a nice kick to the dish, and this recipe isn’t shy about it. Simply use less if you’re not fond of heat.
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Flour - Just a bit, to thicken up the cheese sauce.
  • Half and half - This lends a nice decadence to the cheese sauce, without making it overly rich.
  • Gruyere cheese - A melty cheese with nutty flavor.
  • White cheddar cheese - Because EVERY mac & cheese deserves cheddar!
  • Shrimp - I prefer a medium-sized shrimp for this recipe.
  • Panko breadcrumbs - I adore panko for that super easy, buttery-crisp topping!
  • Grated Parmesan - Just a little bit added to the breadcrumbs gives a hint of nutty, cheesy goodness.
  • Parsley - Completely optional. Chop some up for a pretty, fresh garnish if you like!
