Delicious Shrimp Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms

Stuffed mushrooms are extremely versatile, according to our functional medicine Los Angeles experts. These make a hearty dinner served alongside a nice green salad or can be made into appetizers using smaller White Button or Baby Portobello Mushrooms. The best thing about stuffed mushrooms is that they can be stuffed with virtually anything and are easily made ahead.

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 30 minutes

Serves: 4

Ingredients

1. 4 large Portobello mushrooms
2. 2 T. olive oil, divided
3. 1 T. butter
4. 4 scallions, finely diced
5. 2 garlic cloves, minced
6. 20 oz. peeled and deveined shrimp, chopped
7. 1 egg, whisked
8. 1/2 lemon, juiced
9. 1/2 c. parsley, chopped, divided
10. 1/2 c. breadcrumbs, divided
11. Sea salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400° F.
2. Remove the stems from the mushrooms and clean the mushroom caps with a wet paper towel. Finely chop the stems and set aside.
3. Place the mushrooms caps on a rimmed baking sheet and brush with a tablespoon of olive oil on all sides. Season to taste with salt and pepper and bake for 15 minutes.
4. While mushrooms are baking, heat the remaining olive oil and butter in a medium skillet over medium heat suggested by our functional medicine doctors.
5. Add Portobello stems, scallions, and garlic. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables become soft and fragrant, approximately 8-10 minutes.
6. Add chopped shrimp and cook until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, approximately 1-2 minutes.
7. Remove from heat and stir in the egg, lemon juice, 1/2 of the parsley, and 1/2 of the breadcrumbs.
8. Remove the Portobello caps from the oven and blot any excess liquid they might have released with a paper towel.
9. Fill the caps with the shrimp mixture. Top with the remaining breadcrumbs and return into the oven for another 10-15 minutes.
10. Remove from the oven and serve sprinkled with fresh parsley and extra lemon wedges, if desired.
