Method

Potato Skins Preparation

  1. 1

    Bake Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Poke several holes in each potato with a fork to allow steam to escape. Rub the potatoes with olive oil, and sprinkle salt and black pepper over them.

  2. 2

    Bake Until Tender

    Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes.

  3. 3

    Scoop and Cut

    Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half lengthwise. Scoop out most of the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato on the skin. Brush the insides with a little more olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Garlic Shrimp Preparation

  1. 4

    Cook Shrimp

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then add the shrimp, lemon juice, and paprika. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

Combining and Baking

  1. 5

    Fill Potato Skins

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the potato skins on a baking sheet. Spoon the cooked garlic shrimp into each potato skin, then top with shredded cheddar cheese.

  2. 6

    Bake Again

    Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serving

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Top with chopped green onions and serve with a side of sour cream for dipping.
