Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the Creamy Spinach Mixture:

   • In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the heavy cream and chopped spinach.
   • Cook until the cream is reduced by half, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

3. Add Aromatics and Seafood:

   • Stir in the minced shallots and cook for 1 minute.
   • Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the coconut milk, dried dill, dried tarragon, cooked shrimp, salt, and pepper.
   • Mix well until all ingredients are combined evenly.

4. Prepare the Mushrooms:

   • Clean the shiitake mushrooms and remove the stems.
   • Place the mushroom caps on a shallow baking pan, ready to be stuffed.

5. Stuff and Bake:

   • Fill each mushroom cap generously with the seafood mixture prepared earlier.
   • Arrange the stuffed mushrooms in the baking pan.
   • Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the stuffed mushrooms.

6. Bake:

   • Place the baking pan in the preheated oven.
   • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is melted and lightly browned.

7. Garnish and Serve:

   • Once baked, remove from the oven.
   • Garnish each mushroom with a sprinkle of coconut flakes.

Tips:

• Mushroom Selection: Choose large shiitake mushrooms for easier stuffing and a more robust texture.
• Creamy Texture: Ensure the cream is adequately reduced to achieve a thick, creamy consistency in the spinach mixture.
• Garnish: The coconut flakes add a tropical touch to the dish, enhancing its Hawaiian-inspired flavors.
