Ingredients:

For the Shrimp Boil Twice Baked Potatoes:

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning (or more to taste)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Topping:

• 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions:

Step 1: Bake the Potatoes

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Wash and scrub the russet potatoes, then prick them with a fork a few times.
3. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.

Step 2: Prepare the Shrimp Boil Filling

1. While the potatoes are baking, prepare the shrimp boil filling. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
2. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove them from the skillet and set them aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the corn kernels and cook for a few minutes until they become tender. Remove the corn from the skillet.
4. Once the potatoes are baked and cool enough to handle, slice off the top quarter of each potato.
5. Carefully scoop out the flesh from the potatoes into a large mixing bowl, leaving a shell about 1/4 inch thick.
6. Mash the potato flesh in the bowl.
7. Add the cooked shrimp, corn, heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped fresh parsley, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potato. Mix everything well.

Step 3: Fill the Potato Shells

1. Carefully spoon the shrimp boil mixture back into the potato shells.

Step 4: Prepare the Topping

1. In a small bowl, combine Panko breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 5: Bake the Twice Baked Potatoes

1. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture on top of each potato.
2. Place the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet.
3. Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the filling is heated through.
