Rare is the day that I mix cheese and seafood, but shrimp mac and cheese is an exception. The taboo against mixing cheese and fish or seafood is largely an Italian one, and I absorbed it growing up in a heavily Italian American-influenced New Jersey. Add garlic at the very end for most robust flavor. For cheese sauce, melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat.

I loaded up my favorite basic baked macaroni and cheese recipe (seen previously here and here, and an ultimate version here) with spicy shrimp, pepper jack cheese for an extra kick, and topped it with light-as-air Panko bread crumbs. The dish isn't too spicy (my mom is really sensitive to spicy dishes, and she thought the mac and cheese was fabulous, the spice not too overpowering), so if.
