Turn the potatoes over and microwave till tender but still slightly hard in center when pierced with a fork, 3 to 4 min more. Remove from the oven, wrap in foil and let stand till very tender in center, about 10 min.
  2. Rinse the shrimp and pat dry. Drain the broccoli well. In a bowl, combine the shrimp, broccoli, cheese, yogurt, mayonnaise, onions and dill.
  3. Unwrap the potatoes and cut them in half lengthwise. Scoop the potato meat from the skin, leaving about 1/4 inch all around. Add in the potato meat to the shrimp mix and stir well. Add in salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Mound the mix in the potato shells. Set the stuffed potatoes on a plate and microwave on High (100% power) till heated through, about 3 min.
  5. This recipe yields 4 servings.
  6. Comments: Potatoes bake quickly in the microwave. You can stuff these potatoes ahead and chill till later. Allow an extra minute or possibly two for rewarming chilled potatoes. For lunch, serve half a potato with apple wedges and carrot sticks, or possibly two halves for dinner. You can also prepare the recipe in a standard oven, baking the potatoes at 400 degrees for about 1 hour and finishing the stuffed potatoes for about 15 min.
