Shrimp Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms

Hubby brought home one pound of fresh portobello mushrooms the other day. Fresh mushrooms do not have long storage life. Since I could not turn every cap into soup, I had to research fast on how to cook this tasty mushrooms in other ways.

A quick search on the internet showed mostly grilled recipes. Perhaps this is the best way for the full flavors of the mushrooms to come out. However, I was looking for something more. I came across this baked recipe which I altered a little. The recipe called for fresh rosemary, which I do not have on hand, so, i used fresh basil instead. I lessened the mayonnaise, for a healthier version. (The original version asked for half-cup!) I did not saute all the ingredients for stuffing. And because I was in a hurry, I did not use the conventional oven which would require pre-heating. I just used the oven toaster instead. Inspite of all the changes I made, the results came out very tasty and yummy! Wow! a great tasting dish that is easy to make! This is the new family favorite now.

1/4 C Chopped fresh basil
