Best Cajun Crab Stuffed Mushrooms Recipes

CRAB STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Remove stems from mushrooms and set them aside. Using a spoon, scrape out the gills of each mushroom and discard. Finely chop the mushroom stems.
• Place mushrooms on a lightly greased baking sheet. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large nonstick pan. Add chopped mushroom stems and red bell pepper. Cook 2 to 3 minutes. Add green onions and garlic and cook 2 minutes more. Transfer mixture to a medium bowl, season with salt and pepper, and let cool.
• Pick through crab meat and remove any pieces of shell. Add crab meat to bowl along with Parmesan cheese, Cajun seasoning and cream cheese. Stir with a wooden spoon to mix evenly.
• Evenly spoon mixture into mushroom caps.
• In a small bowl, stir Panko crumbs together with melted butter and parsley. Sprinkle on top of mushrooms.
• Place in 400 degree oven for 20 minutes.

PERFECT CRAB-STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet; cook and stir green onion until softened, about 2 minutes. Transfer green onion to a bowl. Stir in crabmeat, bread crumbs, 1/4 cup Monterey Jack cheese, egg, lemon juice, and dill weed until well mixed.
• Pour 1/2 cup melted butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish; turn mushroom caps in butter to coat. Fill mushroom caps with the crab mixture and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese. Pour white wine into baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven until cheese is melted and lightly brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

CREOLE CRAB-STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch pan with butter.
• Wash mushrooms and remove stems. Scrape out mushroom caps to make an ample "bowl" for the filling.
• Mix cream cheese, 1 cup Colby-Jack cheese, green onions, seafood seasoning, Creole seasoning, and garlic powder together until thoroughly combined. Crumble in crabmeat, making sure there are no large chunks so the consistency works well for stuffing. Mix in bread crumbs.
• Start forming a ball of stuffing and place it in a mushroom cap, making the mushroom cap form-fit the ball. The stuffing should be ample so the mushroom cap wraps around the bottom half of the ball. Repeat to stuff remaining mushrooms, then transfer into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle remaining Colby-Jack on top, smoothing it down so it sticks to the stuffing.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil until cheese is bubbly, about 3 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
