Ingredients
Mushrooms

Sweet butter
1/2 lb (Softened)
Garlic cloves
6 (Chopped or crushed)
Fresh parsley

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Carefully remove the stems from the mushrooms, setting them aside for later use in soups or stocks.
3
Place the mushroom caps upside down on a generously lined baking sheet, ensuring they’re spaced evenly.
4
In each mushroom cap, curl one raw shrimp, placing it snugly.
5
In a mixing bowl, blend the softened sweet butter with chopped garlic and fresh parsley until well combined.
6
Either pipe the buttery mixture into each mushroom cap using a pastry bag, or use a plastic bag with a clipped corner. For a more hands-on approach, simply spoon the mixture gently into each cap.
7
Fill each mushroom cap with approximately 2/3 teaspoon of the garlic butter mixture, allowing some to ooze around the shrimp.
8
Bake the mushroom caps in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the shrimp turn a beautiful pink color and the mushrooms have softened.
9
While the mushrooms are baking, slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick pieces and toast them lightly until crisp.

Once the mushroom caps are done, serve them elegantly atop the toasted baguette slices, allowing the garlic butter sauce to soak into the bread for maximum flavor.
