Indulgence with Chef Saida (Baked Shrimp Mac ‘N’ Cheese)

This is without doubt the best Macaroni and cheese I have ever had….no jokes!

Chef Saida aka Chef S would not stop tormenting my eyes with posts of her cooking on social media so  I decided to pay her a visit. I will be going back for her kitchen ‘Savor By Saida’ later because I need to show you her amazing cakes but this visit was just me going to my friend’s house to eat *chuckles*

We had talked on the phone and decided to make mac ‘n’ cheese, she explained that it wasn’t plain mac ‘n’ cheese, we would need shrimps, prawns, crabs, lobster….my mouth fell open as I had never had such and all I could think about was the price of seafood in Lagos, I asked ‘what kind of rich-man mac ‘n’ cheese is that?’ But she goes, don’t worry, we just need a little of everything….

So I got there at about 3pm, we said our hellos, gossiped a bit and got to work. All we could lay our hands on were shrimps and prawns but that wouldn’t stop us, it was time to clean them up….then I watched her set up ingredients

Elbow Pasta, milk, shrimps, prawns, cheese (cheddar, parmesan, gouda), butter, spring onions and flour.

Next, we boiled the pasta, made a roux, grated all 3 cheeses and stirred a little amount of each in with the pasta….

Then we plated into a baking dish in the order of pasta, shrimps and cheese….

Bake Time….

After about 30mins, we took it out of the oven….Black peper & spring onions in

Ready….

This was so good….cheese overload!
