Shrimp & Lobster Macaroni and Cheese with Roasted Asparagus

March 12, 2013 by susanelester 4 Comments

It always amazes people when I tell them I don’t watch any cooking shows.  Although that’s true, I find The Cooking Channel website to be a great resource for recipes and ideas.  We had some lobster tails and as impressed as I was by Mary’s Lobster Pot Pie, we were looking for something a little less involved on a work night.  As haute cuisine as this recipe sounds, it comes together quickly with a roux-based cream sauce loaded with cheese.  The wine in this sauce takes it right over the top!  We used (and drank!) Adelaida 2010 Version which was a perfect match for this dish.

Elegant comfort food

Shrimp and Lobster Macaroni and Cheese





We didn’t have quite enough lobster meat, so we added 1/2 pound raw shrimp, cut into thirds.  The addition of wine to this sauce is just wonderful!  The sauce, itself, would be great with so many things – we thought ham and peas could easily be substituted for the shrimp and lobster.  

Roasted Asparagus

Clean 1 bunch Asparagus, snapping white ends off.
Place in a rectangular baking pan.
Drizzle with Lemon Olive Oil.
Sprinkle with Salt and Pepper.
Place in the oven for the last 15 minutes that the Macaroni & Cheese is baking.

Enjoy!

    Lovely dinner!

    The Ina has a lobster mac n cheese that I’ve made a few times – I think the concept is simple but elegant (and pretty darn tasty).

    Can’t wait to meet you guys in September!

    I had to laugh about you not watching cooking shows – when you blog, you have no time left for cooking shows 🙂 Love this dish Susan, what an amazing combination, it looks like it has “to die for” flavor.

    Oh my…this is so decadent. I agree with you, this Shrimp and lobster macaroni and cheese is more weeknight friendly than a pot pie. 🙂 I’ll save up this recipe to make on special occasions. (totally wish I can have lobster more often!) 😉
