SPICY TOMATO-COCONUT BISQUE WITH SHRIMP AND MUSHROOMS
A full-bodied, mildly spiced tomato soup with sweetness and depth from roasted red peppers, this is a tasty base for lightly poached shrimp or pieces of any firm white fish. The gingery, herbed mushroom gets with a citrusy lift from makrut lime leaves, ensuring this dish is packed with flavor. As a substitute, lime zest will work in a pinch. Serve over steamed rice or dig in with torn pieces from a crusty loaf of bread.

Steps:
- Add the whole peeled tomatoes and their juices and the roasted red peppers to a food processor or blender and purée until smooth.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high. Add the mushrooms and cook without stirring until lightly browned, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger and lime leaves. (If using zest, don't add it yet.) Cook until garlic is softened and lime leaves fragrant, about 2 minutes. Move the mushroom mixture to a bowl. Season with salt and stir in a drizzle of oil. Add lime zest, if using, and scallions. Toss and set aside.
- Pour the remaining 1 tablespoon oil into the pot and heat over medium. Sauté the shallots until softened and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomato paste, cook until it darkens and begins to stick to the bottom of the pot, about 2 minutes. Stir in the puréed tomato mixture, coconut milk, chile and 1 cup water. Scrape the bottom of the pot with your spatula to remove any paste stuck to the bottom. Simmer, uncovered, to allow flavors to meld and sauce to reduce slightly, about 20 minutes. Season with salt.
- Add the shrimp (or pieces of fish) and cook until just opaque, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt. Remove and discard the chile.
- Divide soup and shrimp (or fish) among bowls filled with steamed rice. Discard lime leaves, then combine the fresh herbs with the mushrooms and top stew with spoonfuls of the herby mix. Drizzle with more olive oil and serve.

FIVE-INGREDIENT GRILLED SHRIMP-STUFFED MUSHROOMS
Stuffed mushrooms can be much more than bite-size hors d'oeuvres at cocktail parties-they can also be a delicious entree. Portobello mushrooms stuffed with shrimp are a low-fat, protein-packed seafood dinner option containing potassium, iron and zinc. The meatiness of the mushroom paired with shrimp is a new take on surf-and-turf, with the added benefit of 15 vitamins, minerals and beneficial plant compounds. Round out this meal with slices of French bread brushed with olive oil and grilled. Or serve the patties in 100 percent whole-grain buns along with sliced avocado.

Steps:
- Preheat grill to medium, about 350 to 400 degrees F.
- Rinse the tops of the mushrooms briefly under running water, rubbing off any debris, and pat dry. Gently remove the gills with a spoon (the gills are edible, but their dark shade can muck up the color of the filling). Pluck off the stems, trim the bottom of the stems, and reserve. Trim the rims of the mushrooms with kitchen shears, for a straighter edge. Reserve scraps. Place mushroom caps on a plate.
- Slice finely slice enough of the green scallion tops to equal 2 tablespoons and reserve for garnish. Place the remaining white and green scallion parts in a large food processor and pulse to chop. Add the mushroom stems and scraps, shrimp, lemon zest and juice, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Pulse until the shrimp is nearly ground, with some small pieces remaining.
- Brush the mushroom tops with oil, turn them over, then sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Divide the shrimp mixture equally among the mushrooms and smooth with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle with salt.
- Lightly oil the area of the grill that you will be using. Grill the stuffed mushrooms until the shrimp centers turn white and firm when pressed gently and the mushrooms are tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. Allow the mushrooms to rest a few minutes before serving. Sprinkle with sliced scallions and serve with lemon wedges.

BAKED SHRIMP STUFFED MUSHROOMS
I've ordered these "Shrimp-scargot" several times at a New Orleans restaurant (they were named differently) and I just knew that I could figure out how to make it at home. I love Escargot, especially the garlic butter left over for the bread to soak up. This is my shrimp version on this decadent and so easy dish. I've tweaked it...

Steps:
- 1. Save the mushroom stems for another use. Either chop them or leave them whole and freeze until needed.
- 2. Place the mushrooms in a foil lined baking dish or baking pan if you're making a large batch.
- 3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly sprinkle creole seasoning over shrimp and toss to coat. Set aside.
- 4. Heat the butter, sherry, garlic, and chives in a skillet over medium heat until the butter begins to bubble.
- 5. Stir in the shrimp, and cook until they just turn pink, about 3 minutes.
- 6. Place one shrimp in or on each mushroom cap, spoon the garlic-chive butter over the shrimp and into the mushroom caps; then sprinkle each with a pinch of mozzarella or your favorite cheese. Five Cheese Italian Blend, Havarti, Bleu, Parmigiana Reggiano, etc.
- 7. Bake in the preheated oven until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and french bread to mop up the extra yummy garlic butter!
- 8. Cook's Tips: If you want to make mini appetizers use smaller mushrooms and shrimp and place each one in a mini muffin pan to keep all that delicious garlic butter contained. If you want to get fancy, serve on a gently warmed deviled egg platter. Make sure it's oven safe - about 200 degrees is plenty warm enough. Recipe can be doubled, tripled, etc., which is what I usually do. I've made as many as 75 for a catering party.

Number Of Ingredients 16
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Coat and rub the potatoes with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 1 hour until cooked through.
- In the meantime, cook the bacon on a griddle or sauté pan over medium high heat until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
- Season the shrimp with a little salt and lemon pepper. On the same griddle or pan that you cooked the bacon in, cook the shrimp for about 2 minutes on each side until pink. Set aside in a medium bowl.
- Cook the mushrooms in that same griddle or pan that the bacon and shrimp were cooked inches Sauté until tender and season with salt and pepper. Set aside in the bowl with the shrimp and poor the juices from the pan over the mushrooms and shrimp. Chop the bacon into bite size pieces.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and cool long enough to handle them, about 10-15 minutes. Lower the oven heat to 350. Using a sharp knife, cut the potatoes, length wise, in half. Place each half on a bigger baking sheet if needed to fit. With a spoon, scoop out the center of the potato in a large bowl, leaving about a 1/4 inch border along the skin. In the bowl with the potato, add the salt, pepper, seasoned salt, butter, sour cream, milk or cream, 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, and 1 cup cheddar cheese. Mash with a potato masher. Add the bacon, mushrooms, and shrimp to the potato mixture and stir to combine with a spoon.
- Spoon the filling into each potato halve. Top each potato with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese and sprinkle with cayenne pepper. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the potatoes are heated through. Serve while hot.
- (Note: If you want to make these potatoes ahead of time, prepare them up to the point when you fill the potatoes. Do not top with the cheeses and cayenne pepper until right before baking. Cover them with aluminum foil and refrigerate up to 24 hours.).

Tips:
- Choose the Right Shrimp: Opt for fresh or frozen shrimp that are deveined and peeled. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them properly before cooking.
- Clean and Prep the Mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth or rinsing them quickly under cold water. Slice or chop them according to the recipe's instructions.
- Season Generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings! Garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika are classic choices, but you can also experiment with other herbs and spices like thyme, rosemary, or chili powder.
- Cook the Shrimp and Mushrooms Separately: This will ensure that both the shrimp and mushrooms are cooked evenly. Shrimp typically cook quickly, while mushrooms may need a bit more time.
- Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Overcooked shrimp become tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they turn pink and opaque, usually within a few minutes.
- Use a Variety of Cooking Methods: You can sauté, stir-fry, grill, or bake shrimp and mushrooms. Choose the method that best suits your recipe and personal preference.
- Add Vegetables for Extra Nutrition and Flavor: Feel free to add other vegetables to your shrimp and mushroom dish, such as bell peppers, onions, broccoli, or zucchini.
- Garnish Before Serving: A simple garnish of fresh herbs, lemon wedges, or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese can elevate the dish and make it more visually appealing.
