Instructions
  1. Prepare the mushrooms. Remove the stems, clean, chop & 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.
  2. Peel & devein shrimp. Reserve 8-12 whole shrimp to sauté & serve on top of the stuffed Portobello mushrooms. Chop the remaining shrimp & set aside.
  3. Heat the butter in a large sauté pan. Add the chopped mushroom stems, onions, & garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes until they become tender.
  4. Add the chopped shrimp, breadcrumbs, egg, basil, lemon juice & red pepper flakes to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until it has absorbed the butter & the shrimp begin to turn opaque.
  5. Evenly divide the mushroom mixture over the tops of the mushroom caps forming a small mound. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
  6. Preheat oven to 425 F.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly browned.
  8. Lightly sauté the remaining whole shrimp in a pan just until they are pink & cooked. Do not overcook. Place 2 sautéed shrimp on each mushroom cap to serve.
