Garlic Shrimp and Mushrooms

This makes a great accompaniment to grilled steak. It would also be good over pasta. The shrimp stays moist when baked in the oven and frees the cook from stirring a saute pan! Use a flavourful olive oil for best results. Adapted from 125 Best Toaster Oven Recipes by Linda Stephen.
