My family loves stuffed mushrooms. When we were on our boat, we had caught more crab than we could eat. The next night we tried these and loved them...
Crab Stuffed Mushrooms/Shrimp Stuffed Mushrooms
Serves 8
24 large mushrooms
1 cup cooked flaked Alaska Dungeness, tanner or king crab meat*
8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 dashes worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon sweet basil
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
2 green onions, minced
1/8 teaspoon lemon pepper
½ cup cheddar cheese, grated
2 tablespoon Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
Wash mushrooms; remove stems and set caps aside. Finely chop about ½ of the mushrooms stems. (Use the remainder in another recipe or freeze for later use.)
Mix cream cheese, crap, chopped stems, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, basil, garlic powder, onions, and lemon pepper.
Fill mushroom caps with crab mixture and place in a large, lightly greased baking dish.
Top with grated cheddar and Parmesan cheeses. (Recipe may be prepared to this point, refrigerated, and covered overnight.)
Bake at 450° for 15 to 20 minutes and serve warm.
Any leftover crab mixture may be thinned with sour cream and served as a dip or spread for crackers, chips or vegetables.
*Shrimp could be substituted for crab.
