Potato Skins

Garlic Shrimp Filling

Cheese Topping

Method

Prepare the Potato Skins

  1. 1

    Bake the Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the Russet potatoes under cold water and dry them. Poke several holes in each potato with a fork. Rub the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender.

  2. 2

    Scoop Out the Flesh

    Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out most of the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato around the skin. Reserve the scooped-out potato for later use, if desired.

Prepare the Garlic Shrimp Filling

  1. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn pink and opaque.

  2. 4

    Season the Shrimp

    Stir in lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and chopped parsley. Cook for an additional minute, mixing well to combine the flavors. Remove from heat.

Assemble the Potato Skins

  1. 5

    Fill the Potato Skins

    Take the prepared potato skins and fill each with a generous amount of the garlic shrimp mixture.

  2. 6

    Add Cheese Topping

    In a bowl, mix together the shredded cheddar cheese and softened cream cheese until well combined. Spoon this cheese mixture over the shrimp-filled potato skins.

Bake the Assembled Potato Skins

  1. 7

    Final Bake

    Place the filled potato skins on a baking sheet and return them to the oven. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious garlic shrimp and cheese potato skins!
