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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Brush the mushroom caps with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, hollow side up.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Bake the mushrooms in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish.
