A delightful main course, perfect served with a salad.

In my quest to get more "bang for my buck" (calorie-wise), I've been adding more low-calorie vegetables to my diet. I find mushrooms to be especially satisfying and versatile. I came up with this recipe after picking up a package of beautiful white mushrooms from Costco. They were too big and pretty to cut up, so I decided to stuff them with ingredients I happened to have on hand. I used precooked packaged shrimp which decreased the prep time. Figured it also needed a bread component, but didn't have any bread crumbs, so I crushed a serving of croutons. Either one will do.

Overall, I was very pleased with the outcome. If you don't like shrimp, leave it out or add another protein such as crabmeat or leftover chopped chicken. You can also substitute your favorite cheese if you don't care for parmesan (I'm thinking of trying feta cheese next time I make these).
