How to make Shrimp and Crab Stuffed Mushrooms

If you like to experiment and try new things this is the recipe to try. It combines two of my favorite things stuffed food and seafood. Give it a try and enjoy the creamy crab and shrimp taste atop wonderfully cooked mushrooms.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 8 oz package softened cream cheese
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon Italian bread crumbs
• 1 chopped green onion
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 6 oz can snow crab
• 4 oz can small shrimp
• 12 large white mushrooms without stems
• 1 cup Italian bread crumbs

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or wax paper to cut down on sticking.

2. In a large mixing bowl combine cream cheese, egg yolk, 1 tablespoon bread crumbs, green onion, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss and mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Fold in the snow crab and shrimp.

3. Stuff the mushrooms with this mixture. Place remaining bread crumbs in a bowl and dip the top of the mixture once stuffed into the bowl to coat. Arrange on baking sheet stuffed side up. Bake for around 12 minutes until the mushrooms are soft and switch the oven over to broil. Watch until tops are golden brown and remove. Allow to cool before serving.

Tips & Warnings

• Watch out for seafood allergies.
• Never leave the stove unattended.
