Ingredients

16 servings

•

16 mushrooms
•

1 tablespoon butter, or as needed
•

4 cloves garlic
•

1 ½ cups cream cheese
•

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste

•

ground black pepper to taste
•

salt to taste
•

16 uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
•

¾ cup bread crumbs

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Carefully remove mushroom stems and chop stems into small pieces. Set mushroom caps aside.
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushroom stems and garlic. Cook and stir until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Combine cream cheese, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt together in a bowl. Stir in cooked mushroom stem mixture, retaining butter in the skillet.
Return skillet to medium heat and add shrimp. Cook and stir until shrimp are just opaque, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Pour bread crumbs into a shallow bowl. Fill each mushroom cap with cream cheese mixture and press mushroom, cream cheese-side down, into the bread crumbs to coat the top. Stick a cooked shrimp on top of each filled mushroom and place into a baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until hot and juicy, about 20 minutes.
