Paula Dean's husband Michael authored this one. I have had nothing but raves whenever I have served it.
Serves:4 servings
Ingredients4 (6 to 8-ounce) russet potatoes, scrubbed and pricked all over with a forkVegetable oil, to coat potatoes4 slices bacon1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed1 1/2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning (I skipped this, serve such at the table for each person)1 teaspoon salt, plus a pinch4 green onions, thinly sliced, white and light green parts; dark green parts chopped, for garnish1 cup grated Cheddar6 tablespoons butter, softened1/3 cup sour cream4 tablespoons mayonnaise3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepperDirectionsPreheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Rub the potatoes with vegetable oil and put them on a baking sheet. Bake the potatoes until tender, about 1 hour.
While the potatoes are baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 7 minutes. Transfer the slices to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble. Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of bacon grease from the skillet.
Cut the shrimp into thirds. Reheat the bacon grease over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, Cajun seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Cook until the shrimp are opaque, stirring constantly, 2 to 3 minutes.
When the potatoes are done, let them cool slightly (leave the oven on). Slice off the top third of each potato and carefully scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Scoop out the potato from the top third, and add that to the bowl, then discard the skin. Leave about 1/4-inch border of potato inside the skin. Mash the potato flesh with 1 teaspoon salt, the green onion, cheese, butter, sour cream, mayonnaise, and black pepper. Stuff the potato skins with the filling, mounding any extra on top. Divide the shrimp on top of the potatoes and sprinkle with the crumbled bacon. Return the potatoes to the oven on the baking sheet and bake them until heated through, about 15 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the oven, sprinkle with the reserved chopped green onions and serve.
my note: I always have left over stuffing, so I add that to the top of the potatoes and if still more I add it to the baking sheet. Good as is.
