SPICY SHRIMP MAC 'N' CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Prepare the butterfly shrimp according to the package directions for the oven. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions for al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain well and reserve.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chile and cook until just tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the flour until completely moistened and bubbling, about 1 minute. While whisking continuously, slowly pour in the milk and continue to simmer until creamy and thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and whisk in the Parmesan, mascarpone, cayenne and 1 teaspoon salt until smooth. Whisk in 1 1/2 cups of the Muenster cheese until completely melted and smooth. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the reserved pasta until evenly combined.
• Top the mac and cheese with the remaining 1/2 cup Muenster cheese, then place the butterfly shrimp in a concentric circle on top, tails facing up. (You may need to shingle or overlap the shrimp slightly so they all fit in the skillet.)
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the cheese is completely melted and the shrimp are warmed through, 4 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with another pinch of cayenne and some chopped parsley.

• Transfer to bowl. Turn heat down to medium.
• Melt remaining butter. Add flour and cook for 1 minute.

• Once the liquid is hot, add macaroni. Cook for 8 minutes, stirring regularly, until macaroni is almost cooked through, then take it off the stove.
• Add cheeses and stir through, then add shrimp. Taste for salt - tweak if needed. It should be saucy (see video) - it gets absorbed. Should still be saucy at this stage - sauce gets absorbed/thickens more in next step.
