  2. Bake the potatoes directly on the oven rack for 40-50 minutes until fork-tender.
  3. Allow the potatoes to cool for about 10 minutes, then slice open and scoop out the flesh into a bowl.
  4. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat, add shrimp and crawfish, season with Cajun seasoning and sauté for 4-5 minutes.
  5. In the same skillet, make a roux with more butter and flour, then gradually add half and half and cheese until thick and creamy.
  6. Combine the seafood with potato filling, spoon back into potato skins, and top with cheese sauce.
  7. Broil in the oven for 3-5 minutes until bubbly and golden brown, then garnish with chopped chives and serve hot.
