Great deals on Maine lobster … plus an awesome lobster mac & cheese recipe!
Sure, I’m a penny shopper, clearance shopper, and well I even use coupons – and, yes, I even like deals on lobster! In fact, good food is really my favorite splurge! Up until a few years ago, I didn’t like lobster at all … I thought lobsters looked liked giant bugs and wanted nothing to do with them. Then, I had some seafood boil at my cousin’s party and I fell in love with lobster.
So, I’m not even sure how I found this company Get Maine Lobster, but I signed up for their emails and besides their good humor, they have some great specials! My first order was the lobster rolls. They had a really good deal and I bought lobster rolls for 18 (not that I needed that much at once, but I figured I could take it out of the freezer when I had a craving.)
I took one batch to my sister’s house and we enjoyed lobster rolls for lunch. I am in love with lobster and since my sister and her family were coming to my house for Solstice dinner this year, I decided to order lobster tails!
Here is my plate from Solstice dinner (lobster tail, lobster mac & cheese – my version made with Get Maine Lobster’s frozen lobster, and coleslaw). YUMMY!
So, I promised you a great Mac & Cheese Lobster recipe:
4 tablespoons butter
1 pound Campanella pasta
2 small shallots, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons tomato paste
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup dry sherry
4 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 oz Cracker Barrel extra sharp white cheddar (shredded)
8 oz Gruyere (shredded) Aldi had a great price on this cheese.
1 lb frozen lobster meat from Maine Lobster, drained and chopped
1/4 cup seasoned panko bread crumbs
- Boil the noodles to the el dente stage. The Campenelle noodles are a much better noodle to use, in my opinion, because they don’t get as mushy as elbows seem to if cooked too long.
- Drain and put noodles aside in another bowl.
- After putting the noodles aside, reuse the same pot. Put 4 tablespoons of butter in it and add the shallots and garlic. Saute until they are translucent.
- Add the tomato paste and flour and mix quickly – then add the sherry and mix again thoroughly.
- Whisk in the cream slowly and be sure to get any lumps. Keep whisking occasionally until it thickens and you can dip a noodle in sticks and coats well.
- Whisk in the paprika and cayenne.
- Slowly add the shredded cheeses a handful at a time and combine well.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the lobster and noodles.
- Pour in to 9×13 pan sprayed with Baker’s Joy and sprinkle with seasoned panko bread crumbs.
- Bake uncovered for approximately 25 minutes.
- ENJOY!
