Shrimp and Avocado Stuffed Mushrooms

Shrooms and Shrimps anyone??

I must say that on Super Bowl Sunday, I’m all about eating ALLLL the foods! I like to taste and try many options throughout game day, so finger foods are great in my book for an awesome potluck or party with friends.  These little appetizer size bites of goodness were actually my lunch one day when I wanted something different.  But, they make for a great appetizer you can make for a crowd.

I used baby bella mushrooms because I tend to like the flavor more than white button mushrooms.  But either one will do just fine in this recipe.  As for the shrimp, I used frozen, uncooked, tail-on shrimp because that’s what I usually keep on hand.  You can definitely use whatever type you prefer.

The quantity amounts in this recipe can be increased very easily.  Just use as many shrimp and mushrooms as you would like to have appetizers for.  So, this uses 16 shrimp and mushrooms and will make 16 individual mushrooms.  Serving amount per person will depend on what other yummy goodies will be served at the party!
