¼ cup Fresh lemon

¼ cup white wine

2 lb cherry tomato

1 medium onion dices

4 cloves of garlic minced

3-4 TBSP butter

Directions:

3. Add 2 Tbsp butter 1 Tbsp olive oil to a large skillet on medium heat. Throw in the oyster mushrooms, salt and pepper. Turn heat up to medium-high. Flip each ‘scallop’ with a pair of tongues when they have a nice golden brown coloring. Set aside on a plate with a paper towel to absorb the extra fat. Do the same with the shrimp.
