Lobster Mac and Cheese

If you love mac and cheese, you’re sure to be head over heels for this Lobster Mac and Cheese.  Loaded with shell pasta and delightfully gooey gruyere cheese, every bite will be heavenly.  Top with crispy breadcrumbs and more cheese to finish off the perfect side dish or main entree.

I highly recommend grating the cheese yourself. Pre shredded cheese can cause the mac and cheese to become grainy.  Also, make sure to constantly whisk the bechamel sauce. Shredding the cheeses yourself and constantly whisking the sauce will certainly make the perfect mac and cheese.

Why is my lobster mac and cheese gritty?

I personally prefer chunks of juicy lobster tail however this comes down to personal preference and what your budget allows.  Use whatever you like best or whatever is on sale.

Should I use lobster tails or claw meat?
