Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using scallops, pat dry. Cook until scallops reach minimum internal temperature, 1-2 minutes per side. Scallops will vary in amount as they are portioned by weight. Don't worry, the sweet flavor and tender texture will be the same.

  • If using steak strips, pat dry, coarsely chop, then separate pieces. Cook in a large non-stick pan with 2 tsp. olive oil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until steak reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes.

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Once water is boiling, add pasta and cook until al dente, 7-9 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water. Drain pasta in a colander and set aside.

    While pasta cooks, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Mince chives.

    Halve and peel onion. Cut halves into 1/4" dice.

    Mince garlic.

    Line a plate with a paper towel. Spread bacon on towel-lined plate and microwave until crisp, 1-2 minutes.

    Pat shrimp dry. Season all over with 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper.

  3. 3

    Caramelize the Onions

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add onions to hot pan and stir occasionally until softened and browned, 10-12 minutes.

    If pan becomes dry, add water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, as needed.

  4. 4

    Make the Mac and Cheese

    Add 2 tsp. olive oil and flour to hot pan with onions. Stir occasionally until no dry flour remains, 30-60 seconds.

    Add reserved pasta cooking water and 1/2 cup water, stirring constantly.

    Stir in cream cheese, cheddar, Parmesan, and a pinch of salt until melted and combined. Stir in pasta until coated.

    Remove from burner. Set aside.

  5. 5

    Cook Shrimp and Finish Dish

    Place another large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add shrimp to hot pan and cook on one side, 2-3 minutes.

    Add garlic and half the chives (reserve remaining for garnish). Flip shrimp and cook until pink and shrimp reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Transfer shrimp to pan with mac and cheese and stir to combine.
