Ingredients
NEW: You can now switch to Cook Mode to keep your screen awake.
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Cook the shrimp according to the package directions; set aside.
- Meanwhile, add the milk and macaroni to a large high-sided ovenproof skillet or braiser. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to keep the macaroni from clumping. Simmer, stirring frequently, until the macaroni is tender and the milk has thickened to the consistency of heavy cream, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in the tomatoes, processed cheese, pepper jack, green chiles and salt. Continue to cook, stirring, until everything is melted, thick and creamy, another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and smooth the top into an even layer. Shingle the reserved shrimp on top of the macaroni mixture in a concentric pattern.
- Bake until the cheese is hot and bubbling, 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with the scallions and serve immediately.
