For a richer flavor, try using a combination of different types of mushrooms, such as shiitake, cremini, and oyster mushrooms. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end brightens the flavors and adds a touch of acidity. To make this dish lighter, you can substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream, but the sauce will be less thick and rich. If you don't have fresh shallots, you can use 1/4 cup of finely chopped onion instead. A sprinkle of red pepper flakes adds a subtle heat.
