Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
  • 1 cup cooked crab meat
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Paprika for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Scrub the potatoes, pierce them with a fork, and bake for about 45-60 minutes until tender.
  3. While the potatoes are baking, in a bowl, mix together the shrimp, crab, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, sour cream, butter, green onions, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Once the potatoes are done, let them cool slightly, then cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out a portion of the flesh, leaving a thin layer.
  5. Mix the scooped potato flesh with the seafood mixture.
Assembly
  1. Fill the potato halves with the seafood mixture and sprinkle with paprika on top.
  2. Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until heated through and golden on top.
  3. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Let the potatoes cool a bit before scooping; it will save your fingers from a serious burn. These stuffed potatoes stay good in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. You can prep them and store them unbaked in the fridge. Just pop them in the oven straight from the fridge when you're ready to cook. For longer storage, freeze them; they'll last about 2-3 months.
