Grill cremini mushrooms to bring out their deliciously juicy flavor. Because of the large amount of water found in mushrooms, the grill makes a great cooking method because the mushrooms will remain moist even under the high heat. This dish makes a perfect side dish or appetizer. Skewering mushrooms whole allows for easy flipping on the grill. The shallot-mustard sauce, which can be made ahead and refrigerated, complements the vegetables wonderfully. Garnish the sauce with chopped shallots, if desired.
