Preheat the oven to 450°F with the rack in the middle.
2
Clean the cremini mushrooms and remove the stems. Place the mushrooms on a foil- or parchment-lined baking sheet, and brush them with melted ghee. Roast the mushrooms, gill-side down, for 12 minutes.
3
Flip over the mushrooms, and roast for another 5 minutes or until the liquid released by the mushrooms has evaporated.
4
Devein the raw shrimp, remove the tails, and chop them into medium-sized pieces. Combine the shrimp, scallions, cilantro, bacon, jalapeño, and fish sauce in the bowl of a food processor.
5
Pulse the ingredients for the filling until a coarsely-chopped mixture develops. The filling should be the consistency of a sticky, chunky paste. Form a tiny patty, fry it up, and taste it for seasoning. Adjust salt and pepper as needed.
6
Fill each cooked mushroom with the shrimp paste using a spoon or small disher.
7
Return the mushrooms to the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the shrimp mixture has set. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate and serve immediately.
