Stovetop Lobster Macaroni and Cheese

Do you ever have leftover lobster? I know it is kind of like having leftover wine!! Well, we had a big lobster and steak feast at The Keg Steakhouse + Bar when we were there in August. Amber ordered a whole lobster but couldn’t quite finish it plus there was some of the mine leftovers too.

The boys, Ken and Brian did much better with theirs as they were gobbled down! I cherished our leftover lobster and started dreaming of what I could make with it. Then popped into my head was this easy and quick Stovetop Lobster Macaroni and Cheese, decadence box checked! Love me some mac and cheese any time! Want more lobster recipes, then try our amazing Lobster Bisque, a true show stopper. 

I didn’t want to make baked macaroni and cheese with the lobster, as The Keg had cooked it to perfection and I didn’t then want to then overcook it but to just warm it through again.

Creamy, cheesy, and just perfect to add lobster into as this macaroni and cheese is not too sharp.

You don’t have to have leftover lobster, you can use freshly cooked or frozen for the recipe, you don’t need a lot to make a big impact.
