CRAB MAC AND CHEESE "LOLLIPOPS" RECIPE - (4.7/5)



Crab Mac and Cheese

Provided by Tufgrlz

Number Of Ingredients 13

Sauce:
8 oz. cooked pasta shells
8 oz. cheese sauce
8 oz. Phillips Special crab meat
2 cups all-purpose flour
6 eggs, whisked
4 oz. panko bread crumbs
as needed, oil for frying (up to 2 quarts)
2 cups whole grain mustard
2 cups mayonnaise
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 Tbsp. hot sauce

Steps:

  • For lollipops: In a small sauce pot, mix pasta with cheese sauce. Cook for 5 minutes on medium heat, until mixture thickens. Turn off heat and set aside. Fold Phillips Special crab meat into mixture. Mix carefully in order to avoid breaking up crab meat. Pour into a bowl and refrigerate until mixture firms up. Scoop the "pops" with a 1-oz. ice cream scoop. Coat pops using a standard breading procedure. First, dredge them in flour, followed by a bath in the egg wash, then roll them in panko bread crumbs. Heat oil in a skillet to medium. Make sure there's enough oil to cover lollipops in the pan. Place lollipop sticks in the oil, making sure the "pops" are submerged. Fry for 2 minutes or until golden brown. For sauce: Mix all the sauce ingredients in a mixing bowl.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the final dish. Use fresh crab, sharp cheddar cheese, and a good quality macaroni.
  • Cook the macaroni al dente: This means that it should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Make a roux: This will help to thicken the sauce and give it a smooth consistency.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: This will add depth and flavor to the sauce.
  • Don't overcook the crab: Crab is a delicate seafood that can easily be overcooked. Cook it just until it is heated through.
  • Serve immediately: Crab mac and cheese is best served hot out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Crab mac and cheese is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make the best crab mac and cheese that you have ever tasted.
