Instructions

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prepare the mushrooms

Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems to create small cavities for the filling.

Pro tip: Use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop out the stems cleanly.

Mix the seafood filling

In a bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, crab meat, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, green onions, lemon juice, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Pro tip: Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easy mixing.

Stuff the mushrooms

Fill each mushroom cap with the seafood mixture, lightly pressing it in to ensure it is packed.

Pro tip: Use a teaspoon to fill the mushrooms neatly.

Arrange on a baking sheet

Place the stuffed mushrooms onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Pro tip: Arrange them evenly spaced to ensure even cooking.

Bake the mushrooms

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.

Pro tip: Check for doneness by lightly pressing the mushrooms; they should be soft but still hold their shape.

Tips & Tricks

Choose fresh mushrooms that are firm and free from blemishes for the best results.
Be sure to chop the seafood finely to ensure even cooking and blending of flavours.
For an extra touch, sprinkle with fresh parsley just before serving.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these seafood stuffed mushrooms warm, garnished with a sprinkle of parsley or chives. They pair beautifully with a crisp white wine or a light salad. To make ahead, prepare the stuffing and fill the mushroom caps, then store them in the fridge for up to a day before baking. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
