# Steps to Cook:
01 -
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Poke each potato three times with a fork. Rub potatoes with grapeseed oil and season with sea salt. Bake for 60 minutes until skin is crispy and interior is tender.
02 -
Remove potatoes from oven and slice lengthwise to create an opening for the topping.
03 -
Lightly season shrimp with all-purpose seasoning. Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat with grapeseed oil. Sear shrimp 1 minute per side. Remove shrimp and set aside.
04 -
Reduce heat to medium. Deglaze skillet with dry white wine. Add butter and melt. Stir in minced garlic and sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant, adjusting heat to prevent burning.
05 -
Add heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Season with sea salt, black pepper, paprika, and onion powder. Add lobster pieces and cook 5 to 7 minutes until lobster is cooked and sauce thickens slightly.
06 -
Stir cooked shrimp, crab meat, and fresh parsley into the sauce. Heat through gently to combine.
07 -
Spoon seafood topping over sliced baked potatoes. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
For faster preparation, potatoes can be microwaved wrapped in plastic wrap for 9 minutes (two at a time), though baking yields crisper skin.
