Why You'll Love It
Louisiana cooking is all about building layers of flavor. The mushrooms soak up the garlic butter, the shrimp bring sweet Gulf seafood flavor, and the microgreens add a fresh Cajun kick right before serving.
CCFF Ingredients
- Oyster Mushrooms
- Cajun Spicy Microgreens Blend
Additional Ingredients
- 1 lb large Gulf shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 1 tsp Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning
- ½ tsp coarse black pepper
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Salt to taste
Instructions
1. Season the Shrimp
In a bowl, toss shrimp with:
- Old Bay
- Tony Chachere's
- Black pepper
- Oregano
Let rest for 10 minutes while preparing the mushrooms.
2. Sauté the Mushrooms
Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Add oyster mushrooms and cook for 5–6 minutes until golden brown and slightly crisp around the edges.
Remove and set aside.
3. Cook the Shrimp
Add remaining butter to the skillet.
Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add shrimp and cook 2–3 minutes per side until pink and lightly caramelized.
4. Bring It Together
Return mushrooms to the skillet.
Add lemon juice and green onions.
Toss everything together and cook for another minute.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
5. Finish Louisiana Style
Remove from heat and top generously with fresh Cajun Spicy Microgreens.

Farm Fresh Tip
For extra Louisiana flavor, stir 1 tablespoon of finely diced bell pepper and onion into the skillet when sautéing the mushrooms. The vegetables create a quick "trinity-inspired" base that pairs perfectly with the shrimp and microgreens.
From the Farm to Your Table
Fresh oyster mushrooms provide a rich, savory texture while the Cajun Spicy Microgreens add a peppery finish that complements seafood beautifully. Together they transform a simple shrimp skillet into a meal that tastes like it came straight from a Louisiana farm kitchen.
