Each bite is a symphony of flavours and textures, making it a delightful and satisfying meal.
Ingredients
- 4 large New Brunswick potatoes (Russets are perfect!)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ cup green onions, sliced
- 1 cup of Coldwater Shrimp from New Brunswick
- 1 cup of New Brunswick Snow Crab meat
- 1 cup of New Brunswick Lobster meat
- 1 cup of Crème Fraîche or sour cream
- 1 lemon zest
- 4 tbsp Sturgeon Caviar
- 2 tbsp butter
Preparation
- Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat it to 400°F.
- Scrub the potatoes and dry them with a paper towel.
- Poke several holes in each potato with a fork or skewer, then rub them with the oil and season with salt.
- Set the potatoes on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet. Bake, until you can easily slide a fork or skewer into the center of the potato and the skin, is crisp. (40 to 60 minutes.) Set aside but keep hot.
- In a sauté pan, over medium heat, warm the seafood in the butter. As the seafood is coming to temperature, fold together the Crème Fraîche, lemon zest, Caviar, and green onion in a large mixing bowl.
- To serve, cut the potato down the centre length and gently push the ends to open and expose the flesh.
- Season the potatoes’ flesh with salt and pepper and a teaspoon of butter or olive oil (optional).
- Fold the warmed seafood into the Crème Fraîche mixture.
- Divide the seafood mixture between the four potatoes, garnish with more caviar to taste, and serve.
