Place shrimp, lobster, crabmeat, remaining ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, and remaining ¼ teaspoon black pepper in a medium bowl toss gently to combine. This recipe comes from Monica Williams, chef Kia Damon's auntie and former drill instructor for the United States Marine Corps. The boil seasoning lends its long-cooked flavor to the casserole without overcooking the delicate seafood. Loaded with fresh shrimp, crab, and lobster and layered with a rich mixture of cheeses, this macaroni and cheese gets an extra boost of spice from liquid shrimp-and-crab boil. If cooking from cold, the mac n cheese will take 40 to 45 minutes, but add the crumbs the last 10 minutes of baking. Bake until brown and heated through, about 10 minutes. Arrange individual crocks on a baking sheet or put the casserole on baking sheet to catch any drips. Top the mac n cheese with the spicy crumb mixture. Cool the crumbs, then toss in the parsley and 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano -Reggiano cheese. Warm through, then add the panko crumbs and toss to evenly coat the crumbs in sauce mixture. To complete the dish, melt a couple of tablespoons butter in a small skillet, over low heat and add 3 tablespoons hot sauce.This can be made ahead to this point and refrigerated. Add the vegetables and crab, sauce to the bowl with the pasta and transfer the mixture to individual baking crocks or a large casserole dish.

In a medium sauce pot, over low heat, melt 3 tablespoons butter and whisk in the flour.
