Seafood Stuffed Potatoes

 

 Cook time: 1 hour

 

Ingredients:

 

4 large russet potatoes

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound cooked seafood (shrimp, scallops, cod, or a combination)

1/2 cup chopped onion

1/4 cup chopped celery

1/4 cup chopped bell pepper

1/4 cup chopped parsley

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup sour cream

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions:

 

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Wash and scrub the potatoes. Prick the potatoes with a fork several times. Microwave potatoes on high for 10-12 minutes or until tender.

While the potatoes are cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add cooked seafood, parsley, mayonnaise, sour cream, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder to the skillet. Cook and stir until heated through, about 5 minutes.

Cut a slit lengthwise in each potato. Scoop out some of the potato flesh, leaving a shell.

Fill potato shells with the seafood mixture.

Bake potatoes in a preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and golden brown.

Serve immediately.

Tips:

 

For a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the seafood mixture.

To make this dish ahead of time, cook and fill the potatoes, then refrigerate until ready to bake.

You can use any type of seafood you like.

Serve these stuffed potatoes with a side of your favorite salad or vegetables.
