Seafood Mac and Cheese
RECIPE COURTESY OF KARDEA BROWN
Level: Easy
Total: 1 hr 30 min (includes cooling time)
Active: 40 min
Yield: 8 to 10 servings
Ingredients
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium yellow onion, diced finely
1 pound blue or lump crabmeat, picked for shells and chopped
1/2 cup dry sherry
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 pint heavy cream
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, plus more for sprinkling
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
4 ounces Gruyere, shredded (about 1 cup)
4 ounces Parmesan, shredded (about 1 cup)
12 ounces extra-sharp yellow Cheddar, shredded (about 3 cups)
1 pound elbow macaroni
4 ounces cream cheese
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil add 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Heat the remaining tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the crab and cook, stirring occasionally, until the crab starts to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Scoop the contents of the skillet into a bowl and set aside.
Deglaze the skillet with the sherry and reduce for about 5 minutes. Add the butter to melt, then add the flour and cook, stirring, until there are no remaining clumps. Whisk in the heavy cream, milk, parsley, tarragon, thyme, mustard and paprika, followed by the Gruyere, Parmesan and 8 ounces of the Cheddar. Bring to a simmer, then lower the heat and simmer on low for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, add the noodles to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain the noodles and return them to the pot (I like to just leave a little pasta water in the pot when I drain it). Add the cheese sauce, cream cheese and crab and mix well. (If the mixture is too stiff, add some pasta water 1/4 cup at a time.) Season with more salt and pepper, if needed.
Pour the mixture into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Layer the remaining 4 ounces Cheddar evenly over the top. Bake until the cheese is nice and brown, 10 to 15 minutes. (Be careful, the cheese may bubble over in the oven.) Let rest for 15 to 20 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with parsley.
Cook’s Note
Seafood Mac and Cheese can be made ahead and held, then reheated in a 200 degree F oven for 15 to 20 minutes.

Finally a recipe that doesn't use cups…. Yes.
But… Cheddar is NOT orange. I know this because I was there a few months ago.. ( Cheddar being a town In the UK)..

Ma'am, young lady this is a delicious looking recipe, a must do for us.i really like mac n cheese & blue crab. I'm in Ky., a land locked state,but they always have fresh jumbo & chunk blue crab very fresh in containers in a small local grocer. I use 1 container of each. I shred my fave cheese , swiss gruyere in my mac, if you have never tried it, please try once, a little pricy but the best cheese in the world in my opinion,if you do, you may never go back to another cheese,seriously.God bless you & yours

Do you really need the starchy water when you've made a roux/bechamel sauce?

Use something other than macaroni folks a pasta with ridges works best like a celletani.

I'm so glad I'm not married to this lady because I'd weigh about 350 pounds. Man, can this lady cook! I think if you had a small restaurant or diner, steal every recipe and technique from this Chef!
