Meanwhile, in a large bowl toss together shredded Swiss and Gruyère cheeses, flour, and garlic. In a large saucepan heat broth and wine over medium just until bubbles form around edge of pan. Add cheese mixture, 1 cup at a time, whisking constantly after each addition until cheese melts. (Mixture may not be completely smooth at this point.) Do not boil. Remove from heat. Stir in shrimp and seafood seasoning.
-
Pour cheese mixture over macaroni; stir gently to combine. Fold in cubed Swiss cheese. Spoon pasta mixture into prepared casserole. Sprinkle crushed crackers evenly over top; dot with butter.
-
Bake, uncovered, 35 to 40 minutes or until bubbly and topping is golden. Sprinkle with green onions.
*Tip
For best results, shred the cheese just before using. Purchased preshredded cheese does not melt as well.
