Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 °F.
- Rub the potatoes with vegetable oil and put them on a baking sheet. Bake the potatoes until tender, about 1 hour.
- While the potatoes are baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 7 minutes. Transfer the slices to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble. Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of bacon grease from the skillet.
- Cut the shrimp into thirds. Reheat the bacon grease over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, Cajun seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Cook until the shrimp are opaque, stirring constantly, 2 to 3 minutes.
- When the potatoes are done, let them cool slightly (leave the oven on). Slice off the top third of each potato and carefully scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Scoop out the potato from the top third, and add that to the bowl, then discard the skin. Leave about 1/4-inch border of potato inside the skin. Mash the potato flesh with 1 teaspoon salt, the green onion, cheese, butter, sour cream, mayonnaise and black pepper. Stuff the potato skins with the filling, mounding any extra on top. Divide the shrimp on top of the potatoes and sprinkle with the crumbled bacon. Return the potatoes to the oven on the baking sheet and bake them until heated through, about 15 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the oven, sprinkle with the reserved chopped green onions and serve.

Mash, gradually adding the reserved cooking water as needed. Stir in 1 tablespoon chives.
- While the potatoes are cooking, spread the shrimp and snap peas on a baking sheet. Broil until just cooked through and charred in spots, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Dot the shrimp and snap peas with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and sprinkle with the lemon zest. Toss until the butter melts and the mixture is well coated; season with salt and pepper. Divide the potatoes, shrimp, snap peas and any juices from the baking sheet among plates. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon chives.

Tips:
- Choose fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp should have a briny smell and a slightly firm texture. Avoid shrimp that is slimy or has a strong odor.
- Use a variety of potatoes: You can use any type of potato for this recipe, but Yukon Gold or red potatoes work well. For a more colorful dish, try using a mix of different types of potatoes.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When baking the shrimp and potatoes, make sure to spread them out in a single layer so that they cook evenly.
- Season the shrimp and potatoes well: Use a variety of seasonings to flavor the shrimp and potatoes, such as garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of white wine.
- Bake until the shrimp is cooked through: The shrimp should be cooked until it is opaque and pinkish-white in color. Overcooking will make the shrimp tough and rubbery.
Conclusion:
Baked shrimp and potatoes is a simple and delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your baked shrimp and potatoes turn out perfectly every time.
