Step by Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Oven & Prep Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Peel and cube the potatoes, then boil them in salted water until fork-tender. Drain well.

Step 2: Create Loaded Potatoes

In a large mixing bowl, season the drained potatoes with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Add melted butter, sour cream, cream cheese, ½ cup of cheddar, ½ cup of Gouda, and ½ cup of Monterey Jack cheese. Mix until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3: Cook Chicken & Shrimp

Season the chicken and shrimp with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Badia 14 Spice, salt, and pepper.

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until golden brown and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

In the same skillet, cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Set aside.

Step 4: Sauté Vegetables

In the same skillet, sauté diced bell peppers, onions, and minced garlic until translucent and fragrant. Add the chicken and shrimp back to the skillet, stirring to combine. Remove from heat.

Step 5: Assemble & Bake Casserole

Grease a casserole dish with 1 tbsp butter. Spread the mashed potato mixture evenly in the dish. Top with the remaining cheeses.

Once removed from the oven, layer the cooked chicken and shrimp mixture over the potatoes. Garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot and enjoy!

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
