Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 jumbo baking potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 300 grams sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 200 grams raw shrimp, tails removed, deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning
  • 150 grams mixed bell peppers, thinly sliced
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 375 millilitres heavy cream
  • 50 grams freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian herb mix

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 230°C. Rub baking potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange on a baking tray and cook for 75 minutes, or until fork tender. Slice each potato lengthwise down the centre.
  2. Toss steak pieces with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder. Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat; sear steak for 1 minute per side until browned and just cooked through. Remove from heat.
  3. Combine shrimp with olive oil and seafood seasoning. In the same skillet over medium-high heat, cook shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes per side until they curl into a firm 'C' shape and turn opaque.
  4. Heat olive oil in a separate pan over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers and onion; season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until vegetables are softened.
  5. Place heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Once it begins to bubble, whisk in Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, pepper, Cajun seasoning, and Italian herbs. Stir until cheese melts and sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Gently fluff the centres of baked potatoes with a fork. Top each potato evenly with sautéed vegetables, steak, shrimp, and a generous drizzle of cheese sauce. Serve immediately.

Notes

For optimal texture, allow potatoes to cool for 5 minutes before slicing to help retain their structure.
Use freshly grated Parmesan for a smooth, velvety cheese sauce.
