Postup
Krok za krokem
- 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Use a small amount of the topping butter to grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
Přibližně 2 min
- 2
In a large pot, bring generously salted water to a boil. Add the elbow macaroni and cook according to package directions until al dente.
Přibližně 10 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Cooking the pasta al dente prevents it from becoming mushy after baking in the sauce.
- 3
While the macaroni cooks, melt the sauce butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Přibližně 3 min
- 4
Whisk in the flour and cook for one minute, stirring constantly, to form a smooth paste (a roux).
Přibližně 1 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Cooking the flour for a minute removes its raw taste.
- 5
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to prevent any lumps from forming.
Přibližně 2 min
- 6
Bring the sauce to a simmer and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes until it has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the grated cheese for the sauce, salt, and black pepper until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
Přibližně 2 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Adding the cheese off the heat prevents it from becoming grainy or splitting.

Once the macaroni is cooked, drain it well in a colander.
Přibližně 1 min
- 9
In the prepared casserole dish, combine the drained macaroni, cooked shrimp, and the cheese sauce. Stir gently to mix well.

Sprinkle the grated topping cheese evenly over the surface of the casserole.
Přibližně 1 min

Cut the remaining topping butter into small pieces and dot them over the cheese.
Přibližně 1 min
Poznámka kuchaře: The butter helps the topping brown nicely.

Bake for 30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
