Bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil; water should be salty like the sea.

Drop mushrooms into boiling water and let simmer for 20 seconds, drain and immediately add to a medium mixing bowl.
To warm mushrooms, add olive oil, lemon juice + zest. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Enjoy in any recipe where you would use shellfish, including over salads or as a topping to avocado toast.
