Steak, Shrimp & Mushroom Loaded Baked Potatoes are hearty, restaurant‑style baked potatoes stuffed with juicy steak, garlicky shrimp, sautéed mushrooms, cheese, and topped with creamy sour cream and fresh herbs. They turn a classic baked potato into a full, satisfying meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • Olive oil or butter (for rubbing potatoes)
  • 1 lb steak (sirloin, ribeye, or favorite cut), cooked and sliced
  • 8 oz raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 8 oz mushrooms (cremini or button), sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp paprika or Cajun seasoning (optional)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (for topping)
  • 23 green onions or chives, chopped
  • Fresh parsley or thyme (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub potatoes, dry them, rub with olive oil, and prick with a fork. Bake directly on the oven rack for 45–60 minutes until tender.
  2. While potatoes bake, heat a skillet over medium‑high heat with a little oil. Season steak with salt and pepper and sear to desired doneness. Remove and let rest before slicing.
  3. In the same skillet, add mushrooms and garlic. Sauté until golden and tender. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a bowl.
  4. Add shrimp to the skillet with a bit more oil or butter. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika (if using). Cook until shrimp turn pink and are cooked through, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  5. When potatoes are done, slice them open and fluff the insides with a fork. Sprinkle cheese over the hot potato to let it melt.
  6. Load each potato with sliced steak, sautéed mushrooms, and shrimp.
  7. Top with sour cream, chopped green onions, and fresh herbs if desired.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use leftover steak or shrimp to save time—just reheat gently.
  • Add caramelized onions or a drizzle of garlic butter for extra richness.
  • For a spicy kick, mix hot sauce into the sour cream or sprinkle chili flakes on top.
  • Swap steak for grilled chicken or omit shrimp for a land‑only version.
  • For dairy‑free, skip the cheese and use dairy‑free sour cream alternatives.
