An easy-to-carve roast can be produced from a deboned turkey that will impress your Thanksgiving visitors. You might not have considered it, but it’s a good idea to remove bothersome bones before your bird makes its spectacular festive entry! A deboned turkey tastes almost identical to one with bones, so don’t worry about sacrificing flavor. This method also works on any size bird. In order to savor all the flavor without any bones, forgo the hassle of tableside carving! Put your preferred stuffing inside.

Reviews
These were really simple and good. Thanks for sharing.
Great! Very tasty, but you have to eat them right away or the cheese gets cold and doesn’t look as appetizing as when they first come out of the oven.
These were even good cold, as a dish taken to a wine tasting. Next time I will look for grated mozzarella, as it was challenging placing large shreds on the mushroom caps.
Sorry but these just didn’t work for us. Shrooms needed cooked more but I didn’t want rubber shrimp. Seems like shrimp was overpowered by shrooms. Won’t make again.
Delish. I made for a get together . Everyone loves them . Fast and easy .
This recipe is simple and always a hit! At least the shrimp and mushrooms & garlic are healthy. 🙂 I added more garlic than called for, but then, I always add more garlic to everything :).
These were good. Like many reviewers, I briefly sauteed the mushrooms in garlic butter, added bread crumbs to the garlic butter and then chopped up the shrimp. I used Gouda cheese on top.
I make this all the time when entertaining. It’s even been requested.
Ended up having to buy a much larger shrimp (last minute, couldn’t find appropriate size) and therefore muuuch larger mushrooms. Turned less into a bite-sized treat and more into OMIGOD, HOW DO I EAT THAT? S.O. definitely gave two thumbs up.
Another in a long list of 5 stars!! I broke my tradition by modifying it the first time I made it …. but several reviews just made sense. Like others I cut up the shrimp once they were cooked ……. I also added a bit of Italian bread crumbs to the butter / garlic mixture. They were awesome!! Next time I think I will add a dash of Tony’s cajun seasoning or crushed red pepper …… but this could EASILY be a full meal by itself.
This is very good. However, I agree with another reviewer in that the mushrooms need a bit of precooking. I cut our shrimps in half after cooking but might cut them in 1/3rds next time before cooking – my shrimp were quite large. I would also give the caps a sprinkle of salt and after filling them, I will also add a shake of crumbs and a shake of Parmesan cheese over the mozzarella .
Next time try the recipe as written..obviously you started by way over cooking the shrimp….a rookie mistake….
I took some shortcuts and used pre-cooked shrimp but made garlic butter to pour over. I also sliced up some string cheese instead of grating mozzarella. They needed 20 minutes rather than 10-15, and the finished product wasn’t anything special.
Oh my goodness..I’m finally rating this after making it the second time. Very simple and very delicious. We followed the recipe and also added Old Bay to the shrimp for extra flavor. Yum!!
My husband could not stop eating this. Very tasty and simple. The only change i made was that I used already cooked shrimp
Made this as an appetizer for Valentine’s Day dinner and it was absolutely delicious! My boyfriend actually picked up the plate and tried drinking the left over garlic butter!
These are extraordinarily delicious. I have been making them for a while, originally just the way written. The only thing I do is modify the method a bit so they are more like stuffed mushrooms. I barely cook the shrimp in the garlic butter (which I brown slightly) then remove and chop small when it is cool enough to handle. (This step can be done ahead). The shrimp are still a bit raw but they will cook more in oven. I then pour the garlic butter over the shrimp stuffed mushrooms, trying to get as much into the mushroom (rather than the pan). Top with finely grated Jack or mozzarella. Bake for 15-20 mins then broil til cheese is golden. My guests can never get enough. Thanks Ambibambi for a wonderful recipe. Yum yum. I would give it ten stars if I could.
We loved this recipe completely and made it exactly as is! I may think about dicing the shrimp after cooking them and stuffing the mushrooms that way next time around. Thanks so much for sharing!
This was a hit at my dinner party. I did tweak it a bit after reading the reviews. I baked the mushrooms first for like 10 minutes while I cooked the shrimp. I also added some Goya Adobo seasoning over the shrimp and mushrooms, as I thought it needed more flavor. I also broiled it towards the end to brown the cheese.
This was a real hit at my thanksgiving this year. Made about 25 and they were all gone within minutes. I’d suggest adding a bit of garlic and lemon juice to the shrimp when cooking them. Perfect size appetizer and delicious as well.
Had these for Super Bowl Sunday. They were delicious and so easy to put together. Will definitely do again.
