In a large skillet or stew pot, cook mushrooms in margarine until tender. Remove mushrooms. Add onions to skillet and cook until tender. Blend in flour and seasonings.

Just before serving, stir in lemon juice. Arrange broccoli spears and mushrooms in a baking dish. Spoon shrimp mixture over broccoli. Broil about 4 inches from heat source until lightly browned.
