Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400° F.
Step 2
Chop shrimp fairly small. Put in a bowl with the rest of the ingredients EXCEPT the mushrooms. Mix well.
Step 3
Choose large enough crimini mushrooms for stuffing. Wipe the dirt off them and remove the stems. Place mushroom caps, open-side up, in an 8" x 8" baking dish that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Cut off a small portion of the end of the stems and discard. Chop up the rest of the stems fairly small and add to the shrimp mixture. Mix well.
Step 4
Stuff mushroom caps with shrimp mixture till heaping or all the filling is used up.
Step 5
Bake in preheated 400° F oven for 15-20 minutes or until mushrooms have released their juices and the filling is golden brown.
Step 6
*You can find the True Lime crystallized lime on their website at truelemondotcom. Don't choose the True Lime limeade. Choose the crystallized lime. Then you can do a search to find where you can get it at a store near you. Or if you have fresh limes, you can just use the zest of 1 lime.

- True Lime crystallized lime: Substitute with the zest of 1 lime for a more authentic flavor. This substitution will provide a more natural and authentic flavor to the dish, rather than using a store-bought product.
Vegetarian Stuffed Crimini Mushrooms Replace the shrimp with a mixture of finely chopped vegetables such as bell peppers, zucchini, and onions. Increase the amount of garlic, dill weed, and lemon pepper. Substitute the parmesan cheese with vegan cheese.
Roasted Asparagus with Garlic and Parmesan - Roasted asparagus with garlic and parmesan is the perfect side dish to the shrimp-stuffed crimini mushrooms. The asparagus adds a nice crunch and the garlic and parmesan give it a delicious flavor. Plus, the parmesan compliments the parmesan used in the mushrooms, making this a great pairing.
Herb-Roasted Potatoes: Herb-roasted potatoes are a great accompaniment to the roasted asparagus with garlic and parmesan. The potatoes are roasted with olive oil, garlic, and herbs, giving them a delicious flavor that pairs perfectly with the asparagus. The potatoes are also a great source of carbohydrates, making them a nutritious addition to the meal.
