Lobster Mac and Cheese Recipe

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  Cut lobster tails in half vertically and place on a foil lined baking sheet.

Step 2

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and brush the tops of lobster tails with butter then sprinkle with cajun seasoning.

Step 3

Bake for 10 minutes or until they develop a beautiful color then remove from shells. Roughly chop lobster into large chunks in a medium sized bowl and pour remaining butter from the baking sheet over the lobster and set aside.

Step 4

Lower temperature on oven to 375 degrees.

Step 5

Next add water in a large pot along with some salt and boil pasta according to the package.  Drain and set aside.

Step 6

Toss all shredded cheeses together in a large bowl and set aside.

Step 7

Add olive oil to pan and heat over medium high heat.  Add garlic and cook for 1 minute then add 3 more tablespoons of butter to the pan and allow to melt down.

Step 8

Quickly whisk in flour and cook for approximately 1 minute.

Step 9

Pour in heavy cream and whole milk continuing to whisk.

Step 10

Next add onion powder , garlic powder, dry mustard, paprika and cayenne continuing to whisk.

Step 11

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 12

Stir in half of shredded cheeses and allow them to melt continuing to stir.

Step 13

Once cheese melts down, turn off heat. Add beaten eggs and 1 tablespoon of butter to pasta. Toss everything together until butter has melted. Add pasta to a 9x13 inch baking sheet and stir in beaten eggs and 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 14

Add pasta to 9x13 inch baking sheet. Next pour as much of the cheese sauce as you would like (for super cheesy, use it all) and half of the lobster to the pasta and mix super well.

Step 15

Next spread remaining lobster over top of mac and cheese.  Top with remaining shredded cheeses leaving the lobster pieces bare so they will be seen once baked.  P.S. Add extra shredded cheese to the top of this dish if you want it to be super cheesy and have all the cheese pulls.

Step 16

Finally in a small bowl, melt remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and add breadcrumbs and toss together.

Step 17

Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top leaving the lobster mostly bare so it peeks through and bake at 375 for 27-35 minutes.

Step 18

Rest for 10 minutes, sprinkle with parsley then serve.
