Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 0.5 cup elbow macaroni
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 0.75 cup 1% milk
  • 0.5 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1.5 tablespoons sour cream
  • 0.5 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 cup frozen salad shrimp
  • 2 tablespoons panko bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an oval au gratin dish.
  2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
  3. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour until a smooth paste is formed. Slowly pour in milk, whisking to incorporate. Stir in 1/2 cup Cheddar, sour cream, and Cajun seasoning. Stir in drained macaroni, then stir in frozen shrimp until well combined. Pour into the prepared dish, then sprinkle panko and 2 tablespoons Cheddar over top.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and golden, about 20 minutes.
