1. Thoroughly wash all potatoes with plain hot water. Using a fork, make several holes in potatoes. Place potatoes on a baking sheet and bake at 425° until the interior of the potato is soft and tender, about 1 hour. (Alternatively, place it on a microwave safe dish and cook on high for 10 min, checking about half way and rotating potatoes.)
2. While potatoes cook, open seafood and place in a large bowl, preserving all natural liquid that comes in the bag. Lightly sprinkle Ultimate Seafood Pro Boil until all seafood is coated. Add liquid crab boil, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Toss with a large spoon, carefully, as to not break up the lump crab meat too much. Place the bowl in the fridge to marinate until ready.
3. In a saucepan, heat 2 sticks of butter until just melted, add in chopped green onion, minced garlic and cook on medium-low heat for about 5 min. Turn off the fire and allow it to rest until ready to use.
4. Once potatoes are cooked, scoop out all the inner portion and place in a large mixing bowl. Keep the skins intact and shaped like boats. Set aside.
5. In the mixing bowl, mix together the inside portion of the potatoes, sour cream, mayonnaise, seasonings, bacon bits, cheeses, green onions and half of the Garlic Butter Sauce.
6. After the filling is mixed well, spoon into all potato boats..
7. Place potatoes on a baking sheet and rebake at 425° until the tops are golden brown.
8. Drain seafood and In a skillet. Saute seafood on high heat until shrimp are pink. Add in remaining Garlic Butter Sauce and fold in to seafood.
9. For cheese sauce, heat sharp cheddar cheese over medium heat until melted. Reduce heat to low and add sriracha hot sauce and mix well.
10. Place 1 to 2 potatoes on a plate, spoon layer of spicy cheese sauce, then add a spoonful or two of seafood mixture and top with desired garnishes.
