Instructions
Baked potatoes
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a fork, poke wholes in each potatos. I normally poke each potato three times. Rub each potato with oil, and season all over with sea salt.
- Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Skin should be cripsy and potato should be tender.
- Using a knife, slice each potato open lengthwise. Top with seafood topping.
Seafood topping
- Season shrimp with all-purpose seasoning. If the all-purpose seasoning you're using is high in sodium, do not use too much, as shrimp does not require much salt.
- Heat a 10 inch skillet over medium-high heat. Sear shrimp for 1 minutes in each side. Remove shrimp and let rest on a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add wine to deglaze pan. Add butter, and once melted add garlic. Saute garlic for 2 minutes or until fragrant. Do not burn garlic. If heat is high, reduce to med-low.
- Stir in heavy cream, and bring to a simmer. Add salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder and uncooked lobster meat. Simmer for 5- 7 minutes, or until lobster is cooked and sauce is slightly reduced. Stir in shrimp, crab meat and fresh parsley.
- Serve atop of potato, and garnish with green onions.
Notes
If you are short on time, potatoes can be microwaved as well. Just follow the same steps, but instead of using the oven, you will wrap each potato in plastic wrap, and microwave for 9 minutes. For best results, only microwave two potatoes at a time.
