  • 1/2 cup sour cream Adds creaminess and tang
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped For a fresh crunch
  • 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled Because bacon makes everything better

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • baking sheet
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the potatoes and pierce them several times with a fork. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until tender.
  2. Step 2: Season both sides of the ribeye steaks with salt, pepper, and paprika. In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the steaks and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let rest.
  3. Step 3: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Step 4: Once the potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven and let cool slightly. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the flesh into a bowl. Mix the potato flesh with cheddar cheese, sour cream, green onions, crumbled bacon, salt, and pepper. Scoop the mixture back into the potato skins and return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Step 5: Slice the rested steaks and plate them alongside the sautéed shrimp. Serve with loaded cheesy potatoes and garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy!
