Cook sliced mushrooms in a hot pan with butter until their released liquid evaporates, then add shrimp and cook just until opaque. Garlic, black pepper, lemon, and parsley are easy additions; avoid crowding the pan so the mushrooms brown.
Buttery sautéed shrimp and mushrooms turn watery when the pan is crowded or not hot enough, because mushrooms release liquid instead of browning. Cook them in batches, let the moisture evaporate, and add the shrimp afterward.
Buttery sautéed shrimp and mushrooms cook quickly: sauté the mushrooms until tender, then cook the shrimp only until they turn opaque. The total time varies with shrimp size and mushroom thickness, so watch the shrimp rather than leaving them unattended.
Yes, you can make buttery sautéed shrimp and mushrooms with frozen shrimp. Thaw the shrimp in the refrigerator, drain them well, and pat them dry before cooking; excess water can keep the mushrooms from browning.
The shrimp in buttery sautéed shrimp and mushrooms are usually rubbery because they were overcooked. Add them after the mushrooms are nearly done and take the pan off the heat as soon as the shrimp are opaque and curled.
White button mushrooms and cremini mushrooms both work well in buttery sautéed shrimp and mushrooms. Slice them evenly so they cook at the same rate, and use a wide pan to help their moisture evaporate.
Serve buttery sautéed shrimp and mushrooms with rice, pasta, crusty bread, or potatoes to make a more filling meal. A crisp green salad or steamed vegetables also pair well and balance the buttery pan juices.
Yes, cooked shrimp can be used for buttery sautéed shrimp and mushrooms, but add them only at the end to warm through. Cooking them for the full time would make them tough; raw shrimp give you more control over doneness.
Yes, cream makes buttery sautéed shrimp and mushrooms richer and gives the pan juices a sauce-like consistency. Stir it in after the mushrooms are cooked, then warm gently and avoid boiling the shrimp for a long time.
Keep leftover buttery sautéed shrimp and mushrooms in a covered container in the refrigerator and eat them within three to four days. Refrigerate them within two hours of cooking, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat.

Buttery sautéed shrimp and mushrooms is a quick skillet dish of shrimp and mushrooms cooked in butter, often with garlic and seasonings. It has no single defining origin, but fits comfortably into home cooking and seafood restaurant menus in many places.
The shrimp stay springy while the mushrooms soften and take on the buttery, savoury flavour. Serve it hot as a main with salad, rice or crusty bread, or offer it as a sharing plate. It is high in protein and low in carbohydrates, making it a good fit for a protein-focused meal. For a lighter version, use less butter and add extra vegetables or greens.
