Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 large russet potatoes
Protein
- 1 pound steak, cubed
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
Vegetables & Toppings
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 cup cheese, shredded
- ½ cup sour cream
Other
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the potatoes.
- Bake Potatoes: Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly, then prick them several times with a fork. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes until they become tender when pierced with a fork.
- Cook Steak: While the potatoes are baking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cubed steak and cook until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Shrimp and Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the shrimp and sliced mushrooms. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and the mushrooms are tender, about 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Prepare Baked Potatoes: Once the potatoes are done, slice them open lengthwise and fluff the insides gently with a fork. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble Loaded Potatoes: Top each potato with the cooked steak, shrimp, mushrooms, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the loaded potatoes for added flavor and a fresh finish. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Russet potatoes are ideal for baking due to their starchy texture.
- You can substitute cheddar or your favorite cheese blend for a different flavor.
- Ensure shrimp are peeled and deveined for convenience.
- For extra flavor, season the steak with additional spices or marinade before cooking.
- Leftover loaded potatoes can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven for best texture retention.
