instructions
    1

    Begin by prepping your ingredients. Clean and slice the mushrooms, mince the garlic, and chop the green onions.

    2

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

    3

    Next, add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté them for about 5 to 7 minutes until they are golden brown and have released their moisture.

    4

    Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are fully cooked.

    5

    Pour in the heavy cream, stirring well to combine it with the shrimp and mushrooms. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

    6

    While the sauce is simmering, heat the tortillas in a separate pan or microwave until warm and pliable.

    7

    To serve, spoon the creamy mushroom and shrimp mixture onto each tortilla, and garnish with the chopped green onions.
