Labrador Lounge Lobster Mac and Cheese
Report
From The Jersey Shore Cookbook: “This comforting dish features pieces of rich lobster—tails and claws make for the best mac and cheese. Serve it as a side, family-style for a main course, or even in individual ramekins for a nice touch to any dinner party display.”Reprinted with permission from The Jersey Shore Cookbook (Deborah Smith, Quirk Books, 2016)

Ingredients
- 1 pound macaroni , such as elbows, shells, or orecchiette (or lobster-shaped pasta if you can find it)
- grated Parmesan cheese , to taste
- 2 cups cooked and diced lobster meat
- freshly cracked black pepper , to taste
- sea salt , to taste
- 1/2 cup sliced shallots
- 3/4 cup chopped fresh chives
- 1/2 pound unsalted butter (1 cup)
- 3 cups heavy cream , divided
- 1 cup shredded Asiago cheese
- 1 cup Cubed Swiss cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- bread crumbs , to taste
Instructions
- Cook pasta al dente according to package directions, transfer to a colander, and drain.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Fit a metal mixing bowl over it to create a double boiler. Add all cheeses (except Parmesan) and 1-1/2 cups of the heavy cream.
- Melt cheeses, stirring often to prevent burning. If mixture seems too stringy or clumpy, add some of the remaining cream. The texture should be velvety and a bit loose--the consistency of cheese soup.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a sauté pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add chives, shallots, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until shallots are tender. Add lobster and cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine lobster mixture and pasta and stir. Slowly add as much cheese mixture as desired.
- Transfer mixture to an oven-safe dish and top with Parmesan and bread crumbs. Bake for 12 minutes, or until browned on top and warm in the middle.
Notes
- Note: Labrador Lounge's recipe calls for 3 cups of heavy cream total. As noted in their directions above, they call for starting with 1-1/2 cups and adding additional cream until the desired sauce consistency is reached. Depending on your preferences and the specific cheeses you used, you might not need the entire 3 cups.
