Creamy Lobster Mac and Cheese

Yesterday my favourite seafood shop had a special on lobster tails that I just couldn't resist. I've been craving something creamy and comforting like mac and cheese and thought the addition of fresh buttery lobster would class it up a bit and, boy, was I right!

Better still, my original tried and true recipe for mac and cheese is high on flavour without the addition of butter and cream (except in the lobster ;)

Put it all together and you've got a recipe for DELICIOUS!!

Please enjoy my step by step how to video.
