Expert Tips That I Recommend

• Always cook the roux well. Cook for just a minute, and don’t let it brown.
• Avoid lumps by adding warm liquid gradually. Keep whisking until smooth.
• Don’t over-thicken the sauce as it thickens further.
• When adding the cheese, remove the pan from direct heat. Direct heat can make the cheese grainy.
• Do not overcook the lobster, as overcooking can make it rubbery.

Recipe Variation for Different Diets 

• Gluten-Free Version: Swap regular shells for gluten-free shells, and use gluten-free flour instead of regular flour. Check whether the breadcrumbs are gluten-free.
• Keto Version: Replace regular shells with keto-friendly shells or shirataki, and use almond flour or xanthan gum instead of regular flour. Check whether the breadcrumbs are keto-friendly; if not, use pork rinds.

Storing And Reheating This Recipe 

Storing

• Let the mac and cheese cool completely. Then place it in an airtight container and refrigerate. Consume within 3-4 days. Keep the temperature at 4°C or below. 

Reheating 

• Oven: First, preheat the oven to 165 degrees C. Then add the mac and cheese with 3 tablespoons of milk to an oven-safe dish and cover it lightly with foil. Now heat for 15 minutes. Uncover for 3-5 minutes, then add a breadcrumb topping.
• Stovetop: Add the mac and cheese and some broth to a skillet. Then gently warm for 5-8 minutes. But keep checking that it doesn’t overheat.

What To Serve With This Recipe

The Bobby Flay Lobster Mac and Cheese pairs well with onion rings or crispy potato wedges. You can also serve it with fresh lime juice or cold coffee to keep it light and refreshing. 

For variety, add steamed beans or crushed peanuts to keep it filling and satisfying. You can also add other sides of your choice to elevate the mac and cheese.
