Preheat oven to 400 degrees.In a large pot of boiling salted water,cook macaroni 2 minutes less than al dente.Drain,rinse with cold water.Set aside

While pasta is cooking melt butter over medium in a large saucepan.Transfer 2 tbsp. melted butter to a medium bowl,and reserve.Add onion and garlic to pan,cook until softened,3 to 5 minutes.Add flour,cook,stirring,1 minute.Add milk,whisk until smooth.Bring to a boil,reduce to a simmer,and cook until sauce has thickened,2 to 3 minutesseason with 3/4 tsp.salt,1/2 tsp.pepper and nutmeg.

Looks excellent! Similar to how I fix my mac and cheese; just never added seafood to it! sounds like a keeper to me...
