Ingredients

  • 6 large portobello mushrooms
  • 2 pounds shrimp divided between chopped and whole
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup onions diced
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh-squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon basil chopped
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • parmesan cheese
  • parsley chopped, for garnish, optional

Instructions

  • Prepare the mushrooms. Remove the stems, clean, chop and set aside. With a damp paper towel, clean the mushrooms. If you prefer, use a spoon to gently scrape the gills from the mushrooms. Place the mushroom cap on a large baking sheet with the gill side facing up. This will form the "bowl" for your filling.
  • Peel and devein 1 1/2 pounds of the shrimp. Chop and set aside. Reserve 12 whole shrimp to saute and serve on top of the stuffed portobello mushrooms to serve.
  • Heat the butter in a large saute pan. Add the chopped mushroom stems, onions, and garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes until they become tender.
  • Add the chopped shrimp, breadcrumbs, egg, basil, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until it has absorbed the butter and the shrimp begin to turn opaque.
  • Evenly divide the mushroom mixture over the tops of the mushroom caps forming a small mound.
  • Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in a preheated 425-degree oven for 12-15 minutes until lightly browned.
  • Lightly saute the remaining whole shrimp in a pan just until they are pink and cooked. Do not overcook.
  • Place 2 sauteed shrimp on each mushroom cap to serve.
