Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Large mushroom caps (such as white or cremini)
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Clean the mushroom caps by wiping them with a damp paper towel and removing the stems. Set the caps aside and discard the stems or save them for another use.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the chopped shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes or until pink and opaque. Stir in 1 tablespoon of parsley, the lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix until evenly coated and set aside.
Place the mushroom caps on a baking sheet, cavity side up. Spoon the shrimp scampi mixture into each mushroom cap, filling them generously.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture evenly over the top of the stuffed mushrooms.
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and drizzle over the mushrooms to enhance the golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
