Ingredients
- 12 large white mushrooms, stems removed
- 1/2 cup cooked crab meat, chopped
- 1/2 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare the mushrooms by removing the stems and placing the caps on a baking sheet. This provides a sturdy base for the creamy seafood filling.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the crab meat, shrimp, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly distributed. Season with salt and pepper to taste for a balanced flavor.
Step 3
Fill each mushroom cap with the seafood mixture, pressing gently to pack the filling. This ensures that each mushroom is filled with a rich, savory blend of crab and shrimp.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the melted butter, stirring until the crumbs are evenly coated. Sprinkle the buttery breadcrumbs over the filled mushrooms for a crispy topping that complements the creamy filling.
Step 5
Bake the seafood stuffed mushrooms for 18-20 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly. Serve warm, garnished with extra fresh parsley if desired, and enjoy the perfect balance of creamy, savory, and crispy textures.
