6 large Baking Potatoes
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Kosher Salt
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
1 cup Sour Cream
¼ cup Butter, softened
1 (3 oz) package Cream Cheese, softened

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
Rub potatoes with olive oil; sprinkle evenly with kosher salt. Place on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour, or until potatoes are tender. Let stand until potatoes are cool enough to handle.
Cut off top one-third of potatoes; scoop out potato pulp into a large bowl, leaving shells intact. Set potato shells aside. Add cheese, sour cream, butter, cream cheese, and 2 teaspoons salt to potato pulp. Using a potato masher, mash to desired consistency. Spoon mixture evenly into potato shells. Return potatoes to baking sheet, and bake for 30 minutes, or until browned. Top each stuffed potato with Spicy Shrimp.
