Preparation Process:
1. Sauté the Mushrooms: Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallots, and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
2. Add the Mushrooms: Add the pink oyster mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are tender and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Deglaze the Pan: Pour the white wine into the skillet and scrape the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half.
