Instructions

1

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

5

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.

6

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

  • For an extra touch, sprinkle with fresh parsley just before serving.
