However, I have given these little mushrooms my own twist which makes this the best mushroom recipe ever! Packed with health, nutrition and taste this recipe calls for a celebration.

Pan-Seared Garlic Butter Mushrooms
I have seen as well as made many button mushroom recipes. But, there was something different about this. While I was making it, all I was thinking was, how can something so easy be delicious? To be honest, I was a little doubtful about the taste.
But, as I added my garlic into the butter, the fragrant aroma of butter soaking up the spicy flavors of garlic made my taste buds crave for the recipe.
I took care to not overwash my mushrooms. I knew that if they soaked in a lot of water, it would get really difficult to get them brown.
To get a smooth consistency, I added 1/2 cup of fresh cream into my Garlic Butter Mushroom gravy after my mushrooms were golden brown from the sides. It introduced a beautiful white color in my gravy.
Moreover, I have used chili flakes along with basil for seasoning. You can use Oregano, Parsley, Thyme or anything that suits your taste.
Lastly, while finishing off my Garlic Butter Mushroom recipe, I have sprinkled some freshly grounded black pepper over the gravy. However, this is totally optional. I like my recipe to be a bit spicy. Hence the black pepper. You can skip it if you want.
What goes Best with Pan-Seared Garlic Butter Mushrooms
Basically, the chicken goes best with garlic butter mushrooms. But you can also serve it with shrimp, pork pasta, etc.
Troubleshooting tips for Pan-Seared Garlic Butter Mushrooms
Cleaning Mushrooms: To clean my Mushrooms I have just lightly washed them under the tap. Next, I used a paper towel to remove the dirt from my mushroom. Lastly, I have patted them dry with a paper towel.
Type of Mushrooms: Use button mushrooms as far as possible. However, if it's unavailable at your location, then you can also use Cremini mushrooms. Fortunately, I found button mushrooms at a store near my home. And, it became really easy to make this recipe.
Do Not Over Cook Garlic: Garlic burns fast. Hence, when you have added garlic into the butter, take care that it doesn't burn. Keep it in low flame and keep stirring constantly. You can add onions (red or white) after almost 30 seconds so that it reduces the temperature of the oil and prevents your garlic from getting burnt.

Did you truly mean 2 quarts onions? Do use fresh or powder garlic mayo?
Anjali says
No, "qts" means "two large Quantity of onions". I used qts as a short for quantity. I am sorry, you got confused.
And I meant fresh garlic mayonnaise. In case you don't have "fresh garlic mayo" you can use 1/2 tsp garlic powder with 1/4 cup of fresh mayonnaise. Stir well and use it up!
Or Else you can also use 3-4 cloves of minced garlic along with fresh mayonnaise, stir well and use it up. Hope this helps. And, again, Sorry, you had to go through this trouble.
