Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 teaspoon salt and freshly ground black pepper

To prepare the mushrooms, whisk together the 3 tablespoons of olive oil with the minced garlic, fresh herbs, lemon juice and salt and pepper in a bowl large enough to hold the mushroom caps. Toss the mushroom caps in the grilling marinade and grill over indirect or mediumlow heat until cooked, about 2 to 3 minutes per side for the Shiitakes.
