It's delicious and very east to prepare. The only thing you really need is the time to cook the potatoes; in just 15 minutes you'll have the perfect side for any dish. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 2 large russet potatoes, washed
  • 3 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 12 fresh shrimp deveined (4 whole and 8 chopped into 1/2-inch pieces)
  • 1 teaspoon of cajun seasoning
  • 3 tablespoons of butter
  • 3/4 cup of sour cream
  • 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup of chives, chopped

Directions

  •  
    1

    Cover the potatoes in one tablespoon of olive oil.

    Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, cook the shrimp for 2 minutes on each side. Season with the Cajun powder and cook for one more minute. Set aside.

    Cut the potato in half. Use a spoon to room the inside and place in a large bowl, leaving a thin shell.

    Add butter to the bowl as well as the sour cream, cheddar cheese and chives. Mix well, lightly mashing to remove the big pieces. Add the chopped shrimp to this mixture.
