Japanese Stuffed Mushrooms

This is from one of my sisters! She is an awesome cook and this was from a community cookbook she helped put together from 1988 !! It is still a favorite with our families! You do not have to add the shrimp ( I have a shell fish allergy ) but can substitute 1/2 cup finely diced mushrooms as I do.
