  • Assemble the Baked Potatoes:
  • Slice each baked potato open lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork.
  • Add a dollop of sour cream, sprinkle with shredded cheese, and top with the cooked shrimp.
  • Garnish with chopped chives, bacon bits, or parsley as desired.

Notes

For a spicy twist, add a dash of hot sauce or sprinkle Cajun seasoning on the shrimp before cooking.
Substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
To save time, cook the shrimp while the potatoes are baking.
