Instructions
Scrub and pierce potatoes; rub with oil and salt.
Bake at 400° for 1 hour or until tender. Cool slightly; cut a thin slice off the top of each potato and discard. Scoop out pulp, leaving a thin shell.
In a large bowl, mash pulp with the sour cream, heavy cream, garlic, parsley, horseradish and salt until blended. Spoon into potato shells; keep warm.
In a large skillet, saute garlic in oil for 1 minute.
Add shrimp; cook shrimp for 1 minute on each side.
Add the parsley, lemon juice, wine or broth and salt; cook 2-3 minutes longer or until shrimp turn pink. Top each potato with a shrimp; drizzle with pan drippings.
Recommended wine: Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Grigio
Shrimp works really well with Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, and Pinot Grigio. These crisp white wines work well with shrimp prepared in a variety of ways, whether grilled, fried, or in garlic sauce.
Tom Eddy Tenz-Sauvignon Blanc
Hints of classic Marlborough Sauvignon herbal qualities complement other complex characteristics of grapefruit, white pear, green grass, and gooseberry. The wine's intense aromatics are reinforced on the palate with a subtle minerality and mouth-watering acidity. The concentrated finish is crisp, clean and long-lasting. The wine's tasting profile matches perfectly with a variety of foods (like fresh oysters!) but is easily enjoyed by itself on a hot summer day. Cheers!
