Add the sliced mushrooms and cook covered, about 3 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and cook, an additional 5 minutes.
Add shrimp and simmer, covered until they begin to turn pink, about 2-3 minutes.
Add broth if additional liquid is needed. Add the chipotle cream and heat until cooked through, an additional 3-5 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with warm corn tortillas, over rice, or with avocado.
