Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 large russet potatoes
Protein
- 1 pound steak, cubed
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
Vegetables and Toppings
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 green onions, chopped
Dairy
- 1 cup cheese, shredded
- ½ cup sour cream
Oils and Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the potatoes.
- Prepare and bake potatoes: Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly, then prick each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Cook the steak: While the potatoes bake, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cubed steak and cook until browned on all sides and cooked to your preferred doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook shrimp and mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the shrimp and sliced mushrooms. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and opaque and the mushrooms become tender, about 4-5 minutes.
- Prepare potatoes for topping: Once the potatoes are done, slice them open lengthwise and fluff the insides gently with a fork. Season the inside lightly with salt and pepper.
- Assemble loaded potatoes: Top each baked potato with cooked steak, shrimp, mushrooms, then sprinkle with shredded cheese. Add a dollop of sour cream on top.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions over the stuffed potatoes for a fresh finish. Serve immediately and enjoy this indulgent comfort meal.
Notes
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with your favorite melting cheese like Monterey Jack or mozzarella.
- For a spicier kick, add some chili flakes or hot sauce to the topping mixture.
- Make sure to not overcrowd the skillet while cooking steak and shrimp to get a nice sear.
- Leftover loaded potatoes can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven for best texture preservation.
