# Steps:
01 -
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a fork, poke three holes in each potato. Rub each potato with oil and season thoroughly with sea salt. Bake for 1 hour until skin is crispy and interior tender.
02 -
Remove baked potatoes from oven and slice lengthwise using a knife, creating an opening for the topping.
03 -
Season shrimp lightly with all-purpose seasoning. Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat and sear shrimp for 1 minute per side. Remove shrimp and set aside.
04 -
Reduce heat to medium. Deglaze skillet with dry white wine. Add butter and melt. Stir in minced garlic and sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant, avoiding burning by adjusting heat to medium-low if necessary.
05 -
Add heavy cream and bring mixture to a simmer. Season with sea salt, black pepper, paprika, and onion powder. Add lobster pieces and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until lobster is fully cooked and sauce has reduced slightly.
06 -
Stir cooked shrimp, lump crab meat, and fresh parsley into the simmering sauce. Mix gently to combine and heat through.
07 -
Spoon seafood topping over each sliced baked potato. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

For expedited preparation, potatoes can be microwaved wrapped in plastic wrap for 9 minutes (two at a time). Baking yields better skin texture.
