Shrimp Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms
This post may contain affiliate links. Please check our privacy and disclosure policy.

Oh my god. These are definitely the best stuffed mushrooms that I’ve made in a LONG time.
If you’re a frequent reader of Little Spice Jar, you know how much I stress the importance of buying good quality, wild-caught seafood.
Louisiana Seafood pledges to not only provide the freshest seafood, but also to deliver consistent quality and safety. Did I mention it’s all domestically caught? Yup. You can rest assured that Louisiana Seafood is providing reputable oysters, shrimp, crabs, fish and crawfish that are landed in Louisiana waters.
Portobello mushrooms and shrimp are a match made in heaven.
What I love most about this recipe is that it’s totally weeknight friendly. Ya-huh! A quick 15 minutes of hands on time and another 15 minutes in the oven while you tidy up the 2 dishes it took you to put this meal together. LOVE those kinds of meals. LESS Dishes = Happier Cook. <– Isn’t that always true?
Also, this meal is totally light and bikini friendly. I really feel like I need to be sitting on a beach patio restaurant that’s totally fresco-style everything with a cold glass of mint lemonade, the sun setting in the background and the sounds of waves crashing on shore. Can we all agree that food that transports you to beachy places is definitely amazing?
It’s just 30 minutes way with these stuffed portobello mushrooms.
The shrimp stuffing for these mushroom caps is a breeze to pull together. We’re using the stems from the portobello mushrooms along with a little onion and garlic and letting it sweat up in a couple tablespoons of butter. Get ready for it to smell like a little piece of heaven in your kitchen.
Once they’re done, add in the chopped shrimp, breadcrumbs, a beaten egg, and lemon juice. Oh and a pinch of red pepper flakes because that’s how we do things here on LSJ. For the hubs and I, a hint of spice is mandatory. Let it all heat up for a quick minute or two until the shrimp are cooked through and opaque.
Place that mixture inside the portobello caps and top with a liberal sprinkle of parmesan. Pop them in the oven for 15 minutes and when they’re done, top with a couple additional cooked shrimp, chopped parsley, and basil.
I served mine with a side salad and a wedge of lemon. The lightest most refreshing meal you’ve ever had. For reals.
Just look at that golden deliciousness. How can anyone not love shrimp stuffed mushrooms?
Coastal cuisine is my favorite kind of food to serve up during the summertime. I love adding lemon and basil to my seafood dishes because it makes it so light and refreshing. These shrimp stuffed portobello mushrooms are hearty and filling because of the portobellos and yet still light and flavorful with that Louisiana shrimp and the addition of lemon juice and basil.
You totally need these in your life.

I love tuna casserole.
I grew up in New Orleans, and the recipes on that site are the familiar foods of my youth. Alas, where I am now we don’t have that bounty. the good news is that the way things are shipped now you can get hold of seafood if you try, even seafood from Louisiana – which is the best. My favorite is Barbecued Shrimp, which is a misnomer because it’s not barbecued. It originated at a restaurant that was right near my house, Pascal’s Manale restaurant. http://pascalsmanale.com/history/ Laissez les bons temps rouler! as they say back home.

This is my new favorite seafood recipe! I made this last night with fresh Gulf Coast shrimp and it was a winner. I threw them on the grill over indirect heat along with some fresh from the garden acorn squash…super delish and easy!
I’m happy to hear you enjoyed it, Jasmine! Throwing it on the grill is a great idea. I’m sure it added tons more flavor! Thanks for commenting! 🙂
I made some of these with baby bellas, some crawfish tails and fat, plus the stuffing from a poorly made stuffed artichoke. Added the egg etc and then baked them. Awesome!
Making some more tonight!

Pingback: Recipe Roundup: Stuffed Mushrooms by Karyl's Kulinary Krusade
I made this tonight and it was the best stuffed mushroom I ever made husband still raving about it..will so make again thanks so much this was delish!!
So, I came across this recipe on Pinterest recently and it was amazing! I do have one question though, did your egg cook like scrambled eggs or did it bind into the mix? Mine just scrambled and I wondered if I did something wrong. We still enjoyed them! And will definitely make them again but I assumed the mixture would be held together better than it did.
I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe. Yes, mine also scrambled a bit. I found that packing the shrimp stuffing onto the mushroom cap does help it bind a bit more in the oven! Hope that helps!
Made this tonight and it was amazing! The other bonus was that it was easy and quick. The eggs do scramble a bit when you add them to the sauce pan, just mix it quickly! Still delicious
Since Costco stopped making a shrimp stuffed portobello I’ve been looking for a replacement. This is IT! Thank you.
stuffed shrump shrooms? Gotta love it i guess. Made this 3 times so far and got “Oh my goodness, this is great nom, nom”.
Next time I make this, tonight, I’m not telling anyone so that I can actually get a chance to taste them myself. Bunch of little piggies.?
Thank you.
Made this today with a couple minor tweaks. AMAZING!
These came out amazing ! Very filling too. I put marinara sauce at the bottom. I would definitely make again!
Made it a couple of times. My husband and I love it. Serve with Linguine….it’s delicious.
We love this and it has become a frequent dish we cook. We usually add a chopped bell pepper if we have one around (add with mushrooms, onions, and garlic) and some Parmesan in with the breadcrumbs (we love cheese), as well as on top. Otherwise we leave the recipe alone!
Your additions sound delicious, Caitlin! Appreciate you taking the time to come back and comment!
This was delicious! I have to admit I cheated a bit and bought frozen shrimp scampi. I defrosted it and chopped the shrimp to put in the filling and then heated the sauce to pour over the top and on some pasta. I would definitely make it again.
Absolutely delish!! Used two large portobello caps… one for me – one for hubby. Was more than plenty for each of us.
Saving to make again!!
Very very delicious. Used Monterey and Romano cheese instead.
First time making this one, and it’s great! But I must confess our shrimp were not from Louisiana; we are due south of you in Yucatan, Mexico, so our camarones are raised in Campeche and sold to us by a guy who has a cooler in the trunk of his Toyota.
Only other comment: this is a 30-minute meal if someone else has cleaned the shrimp for you! That sloppy job takes me at least 20 minutes all by itself.
We will definitely make this again. Gracias!
We cannot make enough. You cannot get seconds, they go so fast.
Great recipe! My wife and I Throughly enjoyed it! No changes.
Just wondered if the breadcrumbs should be seasoned or plain? I can’t wait to make this!!
I made this lovely recipe today and we LOVED it!!
I will make this shrimp stuffed mushrooms many times in the future. Thanks!
We love this recipe! We make it about once a month and always clean plates. And I have some picky eaters! Fresh basil definitely makes the difference, so use whenever possible. We are so glad we found this one, will be part of our menus for years to come!
Fix for Scrambled Egg Dilemma:
After cooking mushroom stems, garlic and onion, add shrimp, breadcrumbs, salt, basil, lemon, red pepper but NOT the egg. Cook 1-2 minutes until the shrimp is pink.
Then COOL the mixture before adding the egg so the heat doesn’t cook the egg.
Continue recipe and let the oven cook the egg.
I love mushrooms and I loved this recipe. I always rub olive oil on the outside of the mushroom caps before baking. I added an extra egg in the stuffing…just a personal preference. It binds better to me. This recipe is a keeper! Thank you.
Loved, loved, loved! My husband is a picky eater and he loved it! Used Panko instead of regular bread crumbs don’t know if that made it lighter or not! Will definitely make again!!
I made this today and we really enjoyed the tastes of the shrimp mixture with the portobello mushroom base. Rather than using bread crumbs, I used quinoa flakes, and the mixture was crumbly and not binding. I’m thinking through how I can have the mixture bind better. However, the recipe is a keeper!
The indredients are all great. My issue was I felt the filling was too crumbly and not moist enough. Also by sautéing the shrimp first, mine then over cooked in the oven.
We made these stuffed portobello mushrooms today for family and they were fabulous! Everyone wants the recipe!
Hi there. Do you use fresh or dried breadcrumbs?
Dried breadcrumbs! 🙂
Yes, it was delicious. My husband suggested that I make it again and share it with our favorite friends. I responded
, it’s a great idea
This recipe is absolutely delicious as well as fun and easy to make. Served along with loose-leaf lettuce and sliced cucumbers this makes an elegant and perfectly satisfying evening meal.
This was delicious! My husband and I made it together. We added a bit more red pepper flakes for more heat.
I love your recipes but there is the nutrition information? I cannot seem to find it on any of them.
