Method
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook the macaroni according to package directions, drain well, and set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir the warm macaroni with sour cream until every noodle is coated. Fold in the crab meat gently.
- Finely chop the spring onion and set aside.
Cooking
- Melt butter in a saucepan and add the shrimp; sauté until they just turn opaque. Remove shrimp, roughly chop, and add to the macaroni.
- In the same pan, sauté the spring onion until tender. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir for about one minute.
- Slowly whisk in the evaporated milk and stir until the sauce thickens. Gradually add grated cheddar, stirring until smooth.
- Pour cheese sauce over the macaroni and seafood and fold to combine. Taste, then add salt and black pepper.
- Transfer mixture to a buttered baking dish. Sprinkle with grated mozzarella, panko crumbs, and a light dusting of paprika.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is lightly browned and bubbling; let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
If using pre-cooked shrimp, warm them in the butter to save time. For added flavor, consider stirring in a pinch of cayenne or Old Bay seasoning. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
