Ingredients
- Ingredients:
- 24 ounces (about 24 medium-sized) cremini mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons melted Ghee or fat of choice
- 8 ounces fresh or frozen shrimp
- 1/4 cup scallions (about 2 scallions), roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup packed cilantro
- 2 bacon slices, diced (about ⅓ cup)
- 1 tablespoon jalapeño pepper, diced small
- 1 teaspoon Paleo-friendly fish sauce
- Kosher salt
- Freshly-ground black pepper
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Clean your cremini mushrooms and remove the stems. Place the mushrooms on a foil-lined baking sheet, and brush them with melted ghee. Roast the mushrooms, gill-side down, for 12 minutes. Flip over the mushrooms, and roast for 5 to 10 minutes more, or until the liquid released by the mushrooms has evaporated. While the mushrooms are in the oven, de-vein and remove the tails from the thawed shrimp, and…chop them into medium-sized pieces. oss the shrimp, scallions, cilantro, bacon, jalapeño, and fish sauce into the work bowl of a food processor. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pulse the ingredients for the filling until a coarsely-chopped mixture develops. The filling should be the consistency of a sticky, chunky paste. Scoop out the filling with a spoon or small disher, and fill each cooked mushroom with the shrimp paste. Return the mushrooms to the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the shrimp mixture has set. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate and serve.
