    My sauce base is very similar to yours ... I add a half a cup of buttermilk, for the tang. I heat up my milk and add 3 to 4 hits of Tabasco and three bay leaves. If I was making the seafood version of this, I would poach shrimp and lobster shells in my pasta cooking water, to infuse that much more flavor. You are so right about grating your own cheese; it makes a huge difference!

    The holidays are coming up and I’ve been graciously waiting to cook one of your meals, moving from shelter to shelter being a single mom of 3 is hard but watching u make your meals and all the energy u put in that keeps a smile on my face ! We will try this one day ! Hopefully. Speaking it into existence ❤️

    This was a hit. Next day, the guys went straight to the fridge after work, didn’t even take work clothes off 😂. The Sherry and Parmesan are a must to get that signature ‘taste’. Im from MD so you know I slammed it with OBS. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

    I have the shrimp and lobster meat for this, but not the crab. Could I use crawfish meat in this? I have some in the freezer that I have no idea what to do with it. This looks so delish I am going to have to try it. Straight up I could take a BATH in that cheese sauce! Great day in the morning!

    • @DarrinsDaffs
      @DarrinsDaffs Год назад +2

      @wallabumba, you sure can use the Crawfish in it. Because it's a cousin of lobster it may read a little bit heavy that way, not that that would ever be a problem. If you still have it in the shell, once out of the shell use the shells in your pasta cooking water to infuse that much more flavor.

I’ve seen the chicken base and beef base but not lobster. Gonna have to order it from Amazon I guess.
