Note

For best results, use fresh lime juice rather than bottled to ensure a bright, vibrant flavor.

You can substitute white wine vinegar for lime juice if you prefer a less citrusy profile.

This dish can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors improve as they sit.

Ensure mushrooms are thoroughly cleaned and dried before sautéing to prevent splattering.
