Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel. Trim the stems if needed and slice larger mushrooms in half, leaving smaller ones whole.
Peel and mince 2 garlic cloves. Set aside the other 2 cloves for the alioli sauce.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and golden brown.
While the mushrooms are cooking, prepare the alioli. Finely mince or grate the remaining 2 garlic cloves. In a small bowl, mix the garlic with the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Once the mushrooms are cooked, remove them from the heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley and paprika if desired.
Transfer the mushrooms to a serving dish and serve warm, accompanied by the alioli sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling.
Enjoy these flavorful tapas with crusty bread or as part of a tapas platter!
