Note
For a stronger garlic flavor, use fresh minced garlic instead of garlic powder and add it with the mushrooms.
Any variety of fresh mushrooms works well, such as button, cremini, or shiitake.
Serve these lettuce cups as a light main dish or as a flavorful side to grilled chicken or fish.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though the lettuce leaves are best served fresh.
