    • Slice the mushrooms evenly.
    • Mince the garlic.

  2. Heat the Pan

    • Remove mushrooms and set aside.

  4. Cook the Zucchini

    • Add the remaining 1 tbsp butter to the pan.
    • Toss in zucchini slices and spread them in a single layer.
    • Cook for 2 minutes without stirring to get a slight char.
    • Stir and cook for another 3 minutes until tender.

  5. Add Garlic and Seasoning

    • Add minced garlic and stir constantly for 30 seconds.
    • Return the cooked mushrooms to the pan.

Notes

  • For extra protein, add grilled chicken, shrimp, or crumbled sausage.
