5. Lobster Mac & Cheese

My wife bought some little lobster tails. 5 pack for a pretty good price.
I just poached them in salt water, ice water shocked them, chopped them up, and added them to the sauce just long enough to get warm.
I used a roux (butter based), added sherry to stop the cooking and when the alcohol was gone I added half & half & milk.
I used cheddar, swiss, gouda, mozzarella, & parmesano.
I also crumbled up 4 slices of bacon.
Poured the cheese sauce over penne rigati.
Then sprinkled chopped scallion tops.
My wife loved it. I think I would do a few things differently next time.
This was a first attempt.
