Pesto Shrimp Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms
Cooking Steps
Pull the stems off and scoop out the gills from your portobello. Toss the gills, save the stems. I scooped a bit more mushroom meat from the portos in order to create a better cavity, but keep whatever you scoop out. Dice the onion, shrimp, mushroom stem/scoop and crimini mushrooms. Saute in a pan with the fat of your choice on a low heat while you make the pesto. Add the kale near the end of cooking (about 7 minutes total, until mushrooms release juice and it evaporates a bit).
Pesto, how I love thee. When I was a pasta eater this was my favourite sauce. Now it has found a new home. Throw the basil, garlic and nuts into a food processor and blend for a few seconds. Slowly pour the oil in while you blend further.
Scrape the pesto out into the pan with the shrimp (heat off) and mix it well. Pile up onto the portobellos and top with the cheese. Bake at 375 for about 15-20 minutes.

At what point do you add the salt? It’s in the ingredients but not in the directions.
I thought this was average on taste. Undercook the shrimp in the pan so they are not overcooked after being in the oven.
Good idea. I made my own pesto recipie. Also i used spinach instead of kale (b/c thats what i had) and added bacon. I cooked my shrimp w/ old bay seasoning before hand. It was BOMB.
