1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). If using a countertop induction oven, preheat on the "Combo 3" setting.
2

Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon on paper towels and crumble it into small pieces.
3

Toss the potatoes with vegetable oil to coat; season with salt and pepper. Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet.
4

Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven until tender, about 30 minutes in the conventional oven and 20 minutes in the countertop induction oven. Let the potatoes cool until easy to handle, about 5 minutes.
5

Slice off the top 1/4 of each potato lengthwise. Scoop the flesh into a bowl with a melon baller or small spoon, leaving about 1/8 inch of flesh on the skin.
6

Mash the melted butter and mascarpone cheese into the potato flesh in the bowl. Beat with a hand mixer until fluffy, about 30 seconds. Stir in the bacon, green onions, and Cheddar cheese. Fill the potato skins with the potato mixture and return them to the baking sheet.
7

Bake the filled potatoes in the preheated oven until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Turn on the oven broiler; broil the potatoes until the cheese is bubbly and browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oven.
8

Season the shrimp with Creole seasoning and transfer to a grill pan.
9

Grill the shrimp over high heat until opaque, about 3 minutes. If using a countertop induction oven, cook the shrimp on the "Grill setting" until opaque, about 3 minutes. Top each potato with 1 shrimp.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
