Cajun Shrimp Mac & Cheese Delight

Ingredients 0/12

Step 1

Turn your pressure cooker to the sauté setting and melt the butter right in the pot. Toss in the shallot and garlic, cooking them just until they smell amazing, about a minute or so. Then, hit cancel and let the pot cool down a bit.

Step 2

Add the pasta and give it a good stir to coat it with that buttery shallot goodness. Pour in the milk and cream, then seal the lid and set the cooker to high pressure for 10 minutes. It will take a bit of time to come up to pressure, around 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 3

Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally for about 10 minutes before doing a quick release to let out any remaining steam. Carefully open the lid.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray an 8x8-inch casserole dish with cooking spray. Stir in the evaporated milk, cooked shrimp, cheeses, and both the seafood and Creole seasonings into the pasta mixture until everything is well combined. Pour this into your prepared dish.

Step 5

For the topping, mix together panko, the seafood seasoning, and Creole seasoning, then stir in the melted butter. Sprinkle this crumbly mixture evenly over the top.

Step 6

Pop the casserole in the oven and bake until it’s bubbly, about 5 minutes. Then switch on the broiler and watch closely as the top browns and crisps up nicely, which should take 2 to 4 minutes.

Step 7

Let it cool for a moment before serving, and enjoy!
