Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium Russet potatoes scrubbed and poked with a fork
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter
  • 1 tablespoon buffalo sauce (plus more for serving) mild, medium or hot
  • 3 ounces blue cheese crumbled
  • 8 extra large cooked frozen shrimp thawed, shell removed, patted dry (31-40 shrimp per pound)
  • 2 stalks celery roughly chopped or diced
  • Freshly ground black pepper

For serving

  • Additional buffalo sauce
  • Blue cheese dressing
  • Celery and carrot sticks

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place potatoes directly on rack and bake until fork tender, about 30-40 minutes. Our potatoes were small, so ours were ready in 30 minutes; time will vary depending on the size of your potatoes. Remove from oven.
  • Prepare a baking sheet with tinfoil. Carefully (potatoes are hot!) cut potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out flesh, leaving a thin flesh layer within each skin. Place potato skins on baking sheet. Set potato flesh aside for another use - you won't need it in this recipe. 
  • Place butter and buffalo sauce in a small microwave safe bowl and microwave 15-30 seconds until butter is melted. Stir mixture together.
  • Brush buffalo sauce onto each potato skin and place the skins back onto baking sheet. Place back in oven for 5 minutes. Toss shrimp with remaining buffalo mixture and set aside. 
  • Remove potato skins from oven. Top each skin with 2 buffalo shrimp and blue cheese crumbles. Place back into oven for 2-3 minutes until shrimp are warm and cheese begins to melt. Remove from oven and top with diced celery and freshly ground pepper. 
  • Serve potato skins with buffalo sauce, blue cheese dressing and celery and/or carrot sticks.
