Portobello Mushrooms Stuffed With Shrimp & Goat Cheese
Will surely impress! This recipe is very easy, but soooo delicious and rich in flavours. You can omit the shrimp if you like, or replace it with scallops or chicken pieces. It makes a great main dish with a salad and grilled veg, or a wonderful side dish to a steak dinner. I've also used the "stuffing" to serve over toated baguette slices (instead of over mushroom). mmmmm...yummy! The recipe makes two portions, but you could easily double or triple the ingredients if you need more.

DIRECTIONS
- Preheat over to 400 degrees.
- Clean the mushrooms by removing the stems and (using a small spoon) scraping out the gills. Then use a paper towel to brush off any dirt from the cap. Place them on a cookie sheet upside down, and brush them with balsamic vinegar.
- In a large non-stick fry pan, cook the shrimps (about 2 mins each side). Remove from the pan, cover, and set aside.
- In the same pan, melt the butter and add the garlic and onion. Saute on high for about a minute to let the flavours sweat out slightly. Add the chopped tomato and continue to saute for several minutes until the tomatoes are very mushy and resemble a thick (slightly chunky) sauce. Add the salt & pepper and turn the temp down to medium. Continue to saute for a minute or so to let the flavours blend well and the ingredients to cool slightly.
- Add the goat cheese and stir continuously until the cheese is melted inches You should end up with a thick/creamy-type "sauce". Remove from heat.
- Stuff the mushrooms with the sauce. Sprinkle some bread crumbs over top (this helps keep everything in place) and then lay 4 shrimps on top of each mushroom.
- Bake in the oven for about 15-20 mins (to allow everything to heat through).
- enjoy!
