Crab Mac and Cheese

June 7, 2012

  • 3

Crab Mac and Cheese

I remember getting Clam Bakes when I was a kid, filled with seafood and all my favorites.

It was layered from bottom to top with

clams, shrimp, lobster, steamers, potatoes, carrots, corn on the cob and they steam it with a can of beer.

Oh it was so DELICIOUS.

When I first had it I recall going and picking it up along the inlet where the boats ride in and out, I always loved going there to watch the boats.

After buying it a couple times, my mom would make it and put the BIG tin pot on the grill and we would enjoy!!!

This is not a clam bake, but since my family really likes clam chowder I figured they may really llike a new mac and cheese with crab in it.

It only takes a few minutes to make the sauce, so if your family likes seafood this may just be a new quick meal for them too.

I added  diced jalapeno and it was a nice touch to the sweet taste of the crab.

    Crab would probably be the only thing that would entice me to eat Mac & Cheese!

    I’m working on training myself to like seafood more. I find that I like crab when I can have it in small doses, mixed with other foods. This crab mac & cheese looks perfect for me! Great recipe, thanks!
