# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 300°F. Combine brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and chili powder to form a dry rub. Coat ribs thoroughly with the rub. Wrap ribs in foil and bake for 2 to 2.5 hours until tender. Remove foil, brush ribs with BBQ sauce, then broil for 3-5 minutes until caramelized.
02 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Clean the potato and prick several times with a fork. Rub with oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 50-60 minutes until soft. Cut open lengthwise and fluff the interior with a fork. Stir in butter, sour cream, and cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
03 - Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and green onions, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant. Incorporate shrimp, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook 2-3 minutes per side until shrimp turn pink and are fully cooked. Spoon the shrimp atop the loaded potato and garnish with fresh parsley.

# Tips:

01 - For tender ribs, wrapping them tightly in foil retains moisture during baking.
