Components:

Regarding the Lobster:

One and a half cups of cooked lobster meat, or
two lobster tails
One tablespoon of butter
One teaspoon of Cajun spice
One teaspoon of finely chopped garlic
One tablespoon of lemon juice

For the mac and cheese:

you’ll need three tablespoons of butter.
three tablespoons of all-purpose flour.
two cups of elbow macaroni (or your preferred pasta)
two and a half cups of whole milk (or half-and-half for extra creaminess)
one cup of heavy cream
two cups of sharp cheddar cheese
one cup of Monterey Jack cheese
one cup of grated Parmesan cheese
one tablespoon of Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste)
one teaspoon of smoked paprika
one teaspoon of garlic powder
one teaspoon of onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste.

In reference to the topping:

Half a cup panko breadcrumbs.
Two teaspoons of butter that has melted.
Cajun spice, half a teaspoon.
Half a cup of grated Parmesan cheese.

Directions:

1. Prepare the pasta: As directed on the package, boil pasta in salted water. After draining, set away.

2. Get the lobster ready: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan over medium heat. Add 1 tsp Cajun seasoning, lobster flesh, and minced garlic. The lobster should be opaque after two to three minutes of sautéing. Stir in lemon juice, then turn off the heat. Put aside.

3. Prepare the cheese sauce: Melt three tablespoons of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add flour, whisk, and heat until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. To prevent lumps, gradually add the milk and heavy cream while whisking constantly. Add salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and Cajun seasoning. Reduce the heat to low and toss in the Parmesan, Monterey Jack, and cheddar cheeses when the sauce thickens. Mix until smooth and melted.

4. Put Everything Together: To the cheese sauce, add the cooked pasta and the sautéed lobster. To coat, give it a good stir.

5. Get the topping ready: Combine the panko breadcrumbs, Cajun seasoning, Parmesan, and melted butter in a small bowl.

6. Bake (Suggested but Optional): Turn the oven on to 375°F, or 190°C. Move the mac and cheese to a baking dish that has been oiled. Top with the breadcrumb mixture. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until bubbling and golden brown.

7. Serve and Savor: Serve warm, garnished with green onions or fresh parsley.
