Dutch Harbor Shrimp-Stuffed Baked Potatoes

Easy and delicious.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cans (6 1/2 oz.) shrimp
  • 6 medium baking potatoes
  • 1 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt
  • a dash of pepper
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. grated onion (I finely chop a few green onions)
  • 1/2 cup chopped parsley
  • 3/4 to 1 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup grated cheese

Directions:

Drain shrimp. Bake potatoes in a hot oven, 425 degrees F, for 45 to 60 minutes or until soft. Cut a slice off top of each potato; scoop out insides. Mash potatoes using butter, seasonings, parsley and milk; blend well.

Fold in shrimp and stuff potato shells. Sprinkle cheese over top. Bake in a hot oven, 400 degrees F, until potatoes are reheated and cheese has melted.

Bacon Wrapped Baked Potato

For a different baked potato, slice into potato and insert a half slice of onion. Wrap a slice of bacon around the potato. Wrap the potato in foil. Lay potato on a baking sheet, as some of the bacon juice may drip out. Bake as usual.

Keeping Baked Potatoes Hot

My husband and I like to eat our baked potatoes while they are still hot from the oven. We prefer to eat the potatoes last after eating the rest of our meal. I bake them in aluminum foil in our toaster oven. Most of the time I will need the toaster oven for something else so I have to remove the potatoes. I place the potatoes inside our insulated oven mitts, using a spring clothespin to keep the mitt closed.

This keeps them hot until we are ready to eat them. Please be careful while handing them. I also like to make extra potatoes to use as leftovers for another meal.

Bake Sweet Potatoes Instead of White Potatoes

White potatoes are very starchy and cause our blood sugars to rise sky high, but sweet potatoes are very good for you. Just bake them, cut a slit on the top of the potatoes and add brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and any other specialty.
