Add the mushrooms, crushed blackpepper and the rest of the ingredients except for the cream, lime juice and salt. Stir-fry on high heat till it is well coated with the oil and looks glossy. Mix in the salt, cover and cook on medium / low heat for about 8 minutes or till the mushroom is cooked but not soggy.
