Want a meal that is not only easy to make but delish? Try this yummy Lobster & Shrimp Mac & Cheese and your family will be begging for more!

I love making casserole dishes. They are super easy to prepare – you can even prepare them ahead for a party or event and just heat them up when you get there (just make sure nobody has a shellfish allergy beforehand). The lobster and shrimp along with cajun spices and more just give a wonder kick to this dish. Try it and you’ll see how fast it disappears!
