Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and poke each potato a few times with a fork. Bake for 40-50 minutes until fork-tender.
- Once cooked and slightly cooled, cut a slit lengthwise along each potato and scoop out the insides into a mixing bowl.
- In the mixing bowl, combine the scooped potato flesh, cream cheese, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and sauté shrimp and crawfish tails with Cajun seasoning for 4-5 minutes until shrimp are opaque.
- In the same skillet, add more butter and whisk in flour, cooking for 1-2 minutes. Gradually add half and half, whisking until smooth and thickened.
- Fill each hollowed potato with the creamy mixture, top with sautéed seafood, and pour the cheese sauce over the filled potatoes.
- Broil the stuffed potatoes for 2-3 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, and garnish with chopped chives before serving warm.

These potatoes can be prepared a day in advance. Store the filling and potatoes separately until ready to assemble and bake.
