Chop the shrimp into small pieces and season with Mama Carol's Seafood Rub and squirt with olive oil spray. Mix to coat all of the shrimp and set aside.

Let's Get Cooking

Heat a large skillet to medium heat and place 1 Tbsp of extra virgin olive oil. Next add the onion, garlic, celery, bell pepper and reserved chopped mushroom pieces. Season with no-salt and saute the veggies until they are soft and tender.

Add the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes (no longer, you do not want to over cook the shrimp). Stir constantly while cooking the shrimp. Remove from the skillet into a bowl and allow to cool for 5 minutes.

Stuffing the Mushrooms

Line a baking pan with aluminum foil and squirt olive oil spray onto the foil . Place the mushrooms, upside down on the pan and fill each mushroom with shrimp stuffing. Sprinkle bread crumbs over the top of each mushroom.

Place the pan into the oven and cook for 25 to 30 minutes, till mushrooms are nice and tender.
