Sauteed Mushrooms (2 WW pts)

Growing up I didn’t really like mushrooms. They were weird. Now I can’t get enough. I do mushrooms this way and throw them on just about anything.

Sauteed Mushrooms
1 package pre-cut baby-bella mushrooms – washed and patted dry
White wine
Sliced or diced onion (optional)
Garlic
Olive Oil

I don’t really measure what I’m doing when I do mushrooms, but here’s my attempt at directions: Heat olive oil in a skillet. Add minced garlic cloves and onion. Once garlic starts to brown, add mushrooms to skillet. Once the mushrooms start look cooked, add white wine and reduce heat. Simmer until wine reduces.

This combines 2 of my husband’s loves – shrimp and cilantro! Love the ice cube trick too!

Yum, I love shrimp! Hadn’t thought to flavor it with pesto. Warm crusty bread would be yummy with it!

What a delicious and easy dinner! I’m lucky if I’m home by 8:30, so I completely understand needing quick recipes! I’ll have to try the frozen pesto trick.

i just made my first batch of ice cube pesto from our basil forest. neil panics every time i make pesto. he needs verification that i have not used up too much basil. if i use 10% of what is in the garden, then we are in the safety zone. let it grow back, use another 10%. at the end of the season, we will have 9000 cubes of pesto in the freezer and neil will be happy. totally jealous of your new stove, btw. i want a griddle!

I love the frozen pesto concept! I have a lot of basil, but there are only two of us in my house and we can only eat so much. I will have to try this. The shrimp looks great.

Hi there! Love this idea. Great job!

I was wondering where I can find pesto? Also, do you have any ideas for sides that would be good with this? I’m not familiar with pesto’s flavor and I want to surprise my husband with something 🙂 Thanks!

Jori – I make my own pesto using this recipe.
