Nutrition
Remove stems and then gills from portobello mushrooms with a spoon. If you don’t remove gills, they will turn your mixture black and an ugly color once they are baked.

This is what your portobello mushrooms should look like after they have been baked. Now they are ready to stuff.
You can use fresh scallops or frozen, I used frozen bay scallops bought at my local Walmart.
