Prep Time: 10 mins. | Cook Time: 8 mins.

Ingredients

1 package of white button mushrooms (200g)

10-15 cooked shrimp (I used frozen)

2 cloves of garlic (minced)

1/8th tsp dried oregano

1 Tbsp Balsamic vinegar

1 Tbsp Canola oil

1 tsp butter (melted)

Pinch of garlic powder (optional)

Method

1. Wipe mushrooms with a damp cloth and pat dry.

2. Add butter, garlic, oil, balsamic vinegar, oregano, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Mix well.

3. Place mixture on a frying pan on medium heat. Add whole mushrooms to pan and sauté (with a cover) for about 5 minutes or until cooked. Remove from pan and set aside.

4. Add shrimp to the same pan and leave on until cooked or warmed up (about 2-3 minutes).

5. Make a mushroom shrimp sandwich! Cut a mushroom in half and put the shrimp in the middle. Use a toothpick to keep them together.

Optional: Serve with melted butter and dried oregano or a reduced balsamic vinegar sauce.
