Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (8 ounce) box elbow macaroni
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
12 ounces uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 teaspoons Creole seasoning (such as Tony Chachere's®)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups half-and-half
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 tablespoon Creole mustard

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
  • While macaroni is cooking, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp; sprinkle with Creole seasoning. Cook, stirring continually, for 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until shrimp is pink, about 2 minutes. Turn off heat.
  • Drain macaroni and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking; set aside. Return the pasta pot to the stove and melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until dissolved, about 2 minutes. Add half-and-half; heat for 3 minutes.
  • Whisk in cheeses until melted, about 5 minutes. Add mustard; cook for 2 minutes. Turn off heat.
  • Add reserved macaroni and shrimp. Stir until heated through. Serve immediately.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less Creole seasoning if you don't like spicy food.
