1. Start by preparing your waffle iron and preheat it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Spray it with cooking spray to ensure easy waffle removal.
2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked macaroni and cheese, eggs, flour, panko bread crumbs, cheddar cheese, and parsley. Mix until well combined.
3. Spoon the mac and cheese mixture onto the hot waffle iron, spreading it evenly. Close the lid and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
4. While the waffles are cooking, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Season the shrimp with paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they’re pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
6. To assemble the sandwiches, place a few shrimp on one mac and cheese waffle, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and top with another waffle. Repeat for each sandwich bomb.
7. Serve immediately while warm, garnished with extra parsley for a touch of freshness.

These steps are designed to walk you through the process with ease, much like my abuela’s hands guiding mine as I learned to roll tortillas for the first time. Remember, cooking is an art, and each dish is an edible canvas.
