Stuffed mushrooms are classic appetizers, and this new, lighter version will enhance any romantic meal of your honey's favorite food whether its fish, meat, or vegetarian.

Prepare the Mushrooms:

Start with 4 fresh cremini or baby bella mushrooms, 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter.

Preheat oven to 425-degrees.

Drain mushrooms. Remove stems.

Place mushroom caps, stem-side down, on a baking sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray.

Bake for 5 minutes.

Just before dinner, divide filling among caps.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until heated through.

Curried Rice Filling:

Stir together 1/2 cup cooked rice,
1 Tbsp bottled plum sauce,
1 tsp seasoned rice vinegar,
1/2 tsp green curry paste.

Garnish with cooked shrimp and snipped chives.

There will be filling left that you will enjoy with another meal. If you have mushrooms left, chop and toss into rice - lovely.
