Ingredients
- 2 pounds button mushrooms stems removed
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 8 ounces cooked crab meat drained
- 6 ounce can chopped clams drained
- 6 ounce can tiny shrimp drained
- ½ cup chopped scallions
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon celery salt
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup crushed Ritz crackers about 1 sleeve
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Set out a 9 x 13 inch baking dish, or a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Gently remove the stems from the mushroom caps, leaving clean cavities. Dust off any dirt or debris with a damp paper towel and place the mushroom caps in the baking dish.
- Set out a large mixing bowl. Combine the softened cream cheese, drained crab meat, chopped clams, tiny shrimp, chopped scallions, minced garlic, lemon juice, celery salt, and Cayenne pepper. Mix well until smooth.
- Use a spoon to fill the top of each mushroom cavity with a slight dome of seafood stuffing.
- Crush the Ritz crackers and place them in a small bowl. One at a time, roll the top of each seafood stuffed mushroom in the Ritz crackers to create a crispy coating over the stuffing. Set the mushrooms back in the baking dish.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the mushrooms are cooked through, and stuffing tops are golden-brown.
- Garnish with additional chopped scallions if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- If you would prefer to make simple crab stuffed mushrooms, omitting the clams and shrimp, use double the amount of crab as mentioned in the recipe, 1 pound instead of 8 ounces.
- Cooked crab stuffed mushrooms taste best when enjoyed shortly after baking. But if you do have leftovers, let them cool completely before transferring them to a container with a lid and placing in the fridge for a day or two.
- To freeze: It is best to freeze them after assembling but before baking. Place the stuffed and cracker-coated shrooms on a baking sheet, and flash freeze in the freezer for 1 hour. Then transfer to an airtight plastic zipper bag or other freezer-safe sealed container. Keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. Bake them from frozen, increasing the cook time to 40-50 minutes.
