Shrimp Stuffed Portabella Mushrooms

Ingredients

Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over high heat. Season shrimp with the Old Bay seasoning and cook 6-7 minutes, until shrimp are just done. Remove shrimp from the heat and allow to cool completely. Roughly chop the shrimp.

While the shrimp is cooling, beat the cream cheese and butter with the paddle attachment of an electric mixer. Beat for several minutes until the mixture becomes light and airy. Add the beaten egg, salt, pepper, herbs, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, bread crumbs and sour cream. Mix well. Fold the shrimp into the cream cheese mixture.

Coat the bottoms of the portabellas with the non-stick marinade. Divide the shrimp mixture evenly into the mushrooms.

Prepare the grill. Cook mushrooms 10-12 min over direct medium heat for 12-15 minutes, rotating twice. Serve immediately.

Sweet Potato Pancakes

I ate my first sweet potato pancake during my only visit to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. My family, along with another couple and their young children rented a cabin in the mountains during spring break. I woke every morning and headed into town for breakfast. I would imagine Gatlinburg has more pancake houses per capita than any place on the planet. My problem is that I never found a good-tasting pancake until I happened across sweet potato pancakes at one of the pancake houses. We serve a version of this recipe at The Midtowner. The Cinnamon Cream Syrup is a must.
