Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 large russet potatoes
Proteins
- 1 pound steak, cubed
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
Vegetables
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 green onions, chopped
Dairy & Others
- 1 cup cheese, shredded
- ½ cup sour cream
Oil & Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the potatoes.
- Bake Potatoes: Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly, then prick them all over with a fork to allow steam to escape. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Cook Steak: While potatoes bake, heat 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.
- Sauté Shrimp and Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the peeled and deveined shrimp along with the sliced mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and mushrooms become tender, about 4-6 minutes.
- Prepare Potatoes: Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and slice them open lengthwise. Fluff the insides with a fork to create a soft base. Season the potato interiors with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble Loaded Potatoes: Top each potato evenly with cooked steak, shrimp, mushrooms, and shredded cheese. Add a generous dollop of sour cream on top.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions over the loaded potatoes for a fresh finish. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your indulgent comfort meal.
Notes
- Use a fork to prick potatoes before baking to prevent them from bursting in the oven.
- For extra flavor, season steak and shrimp with additional spices like garlic powder or paprika before cooking.
- You can substitute cheddar or mozzarella cheese depending on your preference.
- Leftover loaded potatoes can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven for best results.
- If preferred, bake potatoes in the microwave for 8-10 minutes to speed up the process, then finish the toppings afterward.
