This is a quick-and-easy version of a seafood-stuffed baked potato, explains Angelique Schultz from her home in Denham Springs, Louisiana. Not only does this recipe reduce prep time, it cuts down on cleanup, too. I buy cooked crumbled bacon to speed it along even more. Ingredients:
1/2 cup chopped onion |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1/4 cup chopped green onions |
1/4 cup chopped celery |
6 medium potatoes, peeled and diced |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons cajun seasoning |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined |
1/4 cup crumbled cooked bacon |
Directions:
1. In a 2-1/2-qt. microwave-safe dish, combine onion and oil. Cover and microwave on high for 1-3 minutes. Stir in green onions and celery; cover and cook 1-2 minutes longer. Add the potatoes, salt, Cajun seasoning and pepper.
2. Cover and cook for 7-9 minutes or until potatoes are nearly tender. Stir in shrimp and bacon. Cover and cook on high for 3-1/2 minutes or until shrimp is pink and potatoes are tender. Yield: 4 servings.
