Clean the shiitake mushrooms by wiping them gently with a damp paper towel. Remove and discard the stems, as they are tough and not suitable for grilling.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, ground black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Add the shiitake mushrooms to the bowl and toss well to coat them evenly with the marinade. Let them sit for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Brush the grill grates lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the marinated shiitake mushrooms on the grill, gill side up. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the mushrooms are tender and have developed visible grill marks.
While the mushrooms are grilling, arrange the arugula on a large serving platter or divide it among individual plates.
Once the mushrooms are done, remove them from the grill and let them cool slightly. Then, slice them into bite-sized pieces if desired.
Place the grilled mushrooms on top of the bed of arugula.
Top the salad with shaved Parmesan cheese and drizzle with any remaining marinade, if desired.
Serve immediately as a light appetizer or side dish.
