Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Large mushrooms (button or cremini)
- 150 grams Raw shrimp (peeled, deveined, and finely chopped)
- 1 cup Fresh spinach (chopped)
- 115 grams Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Clean the mushrooms by wiping them gently with a damp paper towel. Carefully remove the stems and set the caps aside. Finely chop the stems and reserve them for the filling.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped shrimp, mushroom stems, and spinach to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and the spinach wilts. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked shrimp and spinach mixture with cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the filling is fully incorporated.
Brush the mushroom caps with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, hollow side up.
Spoon the filling into each mushroom cap, pressing gently to pack it in neatly. Sprinkle a pinch of paprika on top of each stuffed mushroom if desired.
Bake the mushrooms in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish.
