- Add the Crab. Fold in the lump crab meat gently. Do not break the lumps too much. Heat it through for two minutes.
- Stuff the Potato. Cut a slit in the baked potatoes. Fluff the inside with a fork. Pour the seafood sauce inside.

Notes
➔ Use large Russet potatoes for the best fluffiness.
➔ Pat the potatoes dry before adding any oil.
➔ Do not wrap potatoes in foil for crispy skin.
➔ Cook the shrimp just until they turn pink.
➔ Use fresh garlic instead of the jarred kind.
➔ Grate your own cheese for a better melt.
➔ Add a squeeze of lemon for extra brightness.
