TWICE BAKED CRAB STUFFED POTATOES

Seafood can be such a touchy subject. It seems like people always rest firmly in one of two camps.

Love it or hate it, with no in between.

My husband and I, oddly, do find ourselves waffling in that in between limbo camp.

We love some seafood. Specific things and types. We’re pretty picky, and oddly enough it’s the one area I’m ok with us AND my boys being picky in too.

Other’s we staunchly oppose. Like we tried you once, and once was enough– for life. No hard feelings though. Really.

To each their own.

One thing we can all unanimously agree on though? Crab.

Best thing to ever come out of, errr rather I should say crawl out of, the sea.

Crab cakes, those are an obvious heck yes. Any special anniversary dinner has to include them.

We’ve found many ways to incorporate them into other ‘less’ special occasions too.

Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes: scrubbed, washed, and with holes poked throughout
• 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 stick butter, softened
• salt & pepper, to taste
• 1/4 tsp Cajun seasoning
• 2 tsp dried onion
• 1/3 cup cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 lb fresh or 2 cans, drained crab meat
• smoked paprika, to garnish

Instructions

1. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet, and bake at 450 degrees for 45 minutes, or until a butter knife inserted in the center proves they're tender.
2. Slice the top off of each potato, and discard. Scoop out the pulp, leaving a 'shell' of potato on the inside of each to prevent leaks, into a mixing bowl. Set the shelled potatoes aside to finish cooling.
