Step 1: Prepare the Baked Potatoes

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Prick them all over with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
  3. Rub the potatoes with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for about 60 minutes, or until they are tender inside.
  5. Once done, make a slit in the top of each potato, gently squeeze the sides to open up the potato, and fluff the inside with a fork.

Step 2: Cook the Steak

  1. Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and herbs, sautéing for about 1 minute.
  3. Add the steaks to the skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
  4. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Step 3: Cook the Shrimp

  1. In the same skillet, add a tablespoon of olive oil.
  2. Toss the shrimp with paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque.
  4. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4: Assemble the Loaded Baked Potatoes

  1. Increase the oven temperature to broil.
  2. Add butter, sour cream, cheese, bacon, and green onions to the opened baked potatoes.
  3. Place the potatoes under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 5: Serve

  1. Slice the rested steaks against the grain.
  2. Plate the steak slices and shrimp alongside the loaded baked potatoes.
  3. Garnish with additional green onions or herbs if desired.
