Bake the potatoes: Wash the potatoes and prick them all over with a fork. Sprinkle with sea salt, then bake at 400°F for 50 to 60 minutes, until the skins are crisp and a fork slides in easily.
4 baking potatoes
Make the garlic butter: While the potatoes bake, mix the softened butter with the green onions, garlic, parsley, lemon zest, chili flakes, salt and pepper until well combined.
5 tablespoons butter, softened, 4 green onions, 2 garlic cloves, Zest and juice of ½ lemon, Small bunch parsley, 1 teaspoon ancho chili flakes
Thaw the shrimp: Thaw the shrimp under cold running water for a few minutes, or leave them in the fridge overnight if you're planning ahead.
6 ounces cooked
Assemble and finish: Split the potatoes down the center and fluff the inside with a fork. Spoon the shrimp, then garlic butter mixture over the top, and return the potatoes to the oven at 400°F for 5 to 7 minutes, until everything is warmed through and the butter has melted. Finish with the lemon juice and serve with arugula and cherry tomatoes.

Cook time depends on potato size. The air fryer method cuts this down significantly — see the Variations section for timing.
