Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine shrimp, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the shrimp evenly. Cover and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes, until they are golden brown and tender. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are cooked through.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Add the sautéed mushrooms back to the skillet with the shrimp. Toss everything together and cook for an additional minute to combine the flavors. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
