Cajun Macaroni and Cheese With Shrimp

"I had this at my monthly Bunco group. One of the lady's husbands made it and gave us the recipe. It is to die for. I add in diced green pepper, saute it with the shrimp and more seasoning than called for when I make it."

  1. This recipe was delicious! My husband was saying "mmm," with every bite and he doesn't even like mac & cheese. I followed the directions exactly, added extra cajun seasoning and put in some chopped bacon.
     
  2. My family loves this mac n cheese. I cooked this for a potluck at work and my coworkers request it every year. They will even buy all the ingredients to make sure I cook it. .
     
  3. Made this last night family loved it doubled the recipe and it still disappeared lol keeper
     
  4. The cheese "sauce" just turned into a lump at the bottom of the sauce pan and a waste of $50 because I was making a double batch.
     
  5. Oh fabulous!!!! I made the shrimp quite spicy and turns out thats a good thing, because they are toned down by the mac 'n 'cheese and its creamy delicious sauce, so dont hold back on the spice. This is not just wonderful comfort food but a very decadent twist on an everyday meal, we loved this and it'll definitely be made time and again! Thank you, RGW, delicious, made for PAC Fall 2012

<p>About me hmmm...well as you can see by my name, I married my favorite Repo Guy on New Years Eve 2004. We were together for a total of 10 years before I would give in...LOL. I have an awesome son who graduated High School June 2011. I am trying to convince him cooking school is the way to go, but he wants to be like Dad...what can you do? &nbsp;<br /> <br />We own our own Reposession Company in Fort Lauderdale that keeps us very busy. &nbsp;When we aren't working we are doing alot of work on our home and yard. We tend to have a lot of impromtu get togethers, mostly BBQ's by the pool and such, not too stuffy at our house. Your a guest the first time you come over, after that your part of the family and mi casa is su casa. <br /> <br />I of course love to cook, collect recipes and cookbooks and anything that has to do with food. <br /> <br />I play Bunco once a month with 11 other women that are just awesome, which we always have lots of yummy munchies at. So I am hoping I get some new recipes here to try out on them. <br /> <br />I love to read - everything from James Patterson to Laurell K Hamilton...yeah I am digging on the vampires lately. <br /> <br />Living in FLorida, I just love warm weather and spending time in the sun. I am a sun worshiper and hope to one day live on the beach. <br /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /> <br /><a href=http://photobucket.com target=_blank><img src=http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w115/bugh8er/food%20and%20swaps/4811_36069_t.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a><a href=http://photobucket.com target=_blank><img src=http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w115/bugh8er/food%20and%20swaps/candle3.png border=0 alt=Photobucket /><img src=http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b158/bella_donata/My%20Art/Recipezaar/goldsparkle.png border=0 alt=Made by Bella14ragazza /></a></p> 8761539"
