Instructions: 

  • Preheat oven to 425F.
  • Remove all meat from lobster, chop into bite sized chunks and set aside.
  • Place the macaroni into a pot and over with water. Place over high heat and boil for 10 minutes or until pasta is softened. Strain out the water and add a tsp of olive to the pasta and stir. This will stop it from sticking together. Set aside.
  • Now let's start on the cheese sauce. Place a medium sized pot over medium high heat. Drop in the butter, and minced garlic. Allow the butter to melt. Once melted drop in the flour and stir. Allow the flour to "cook out" for about 3 minutes to remove any taste of raw flour. Now pour in milk and whisk. Keep an eye on the mixture on continue to whisk. As the mixture gets warmer it will begin to thicken quickly.
  • Once sauce is thickened, remove from heat and drop in paprika, garlic powder, pepper, salt, cheddar cheese, swiss cheese, parmasean, and green onions. Mix everything together. The cheese will melt into a velvety smooth sauce.
  • In a small bowl mix together the panko crumbs, melted butter, parm, and pepper.
  • Drop cooked pasta and the chopped lobster meat into a 9X9 Inch brownie pan. Pour on the cheese sauce and mix together. I had about 1/2 cup left over cheese sauce which i used to pour over broccoli the next day. Mix the pasta, lobster, and cheese sauce together. Sprinkle the panko crumbs over the top of the of the pasta and then place tray into the preheated oven and bake for 24 minutes.
  • Once done cooking, remove from oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes so you don't scald your mouth! Top each serving with pepper, parm, and some lemon zest. Enjoy!
