Ingredients

30 large button mushrooms
½ teaspoon olive oil
½ teaspoon butter
½ medium white onion, finely diced
⅓ cup minced celery
⅓ cup minced red bell pepper
1 tablespoon dry white wine
1 ⅓ teaspoons seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®), divided
1 ⅓ teaspoons dried dill weed, divided
1 (6 ounce) can crabmeat
2 ounces cooked salad shrimp
½ cup oyster crackers, crushed
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon dry white wine
1 teaspoon lemon juice
¼ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, or to taste
¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese, or to taste

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter two 9x13-inch casserole dishes.
Prepare mushrooms: Stem button mushrooms and mince stems; reserve 1/4 cup minced stems for filling. Set aside.
Heat oil and butter in a small pan over medium heat. Saute onion, celery, bell pepper, wine, 1/3 teaspoon seafood seasoning, and 1/3 teaspoon dill in the hot pan until vegetables are soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl; let cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
Stir crabmeat, shrimp, and crushed crackers into the vegetable filling mixture. Generously stuff each stemmed mushroom with filling mixture. Place mushrooms into the prepared casserole dishes.
Combine melted butter, garlic, wine, and lemon juice for scampi sauce in small bowl. Pour 1/2 of the sauce over the mushrooms; reserve remaining sauce.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Pour remaining scampi sauce over mushrooms. Increase oven temperature to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). Bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Top each mushroom with small amounts of Cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Return to the oven and bake until cheeses are melted, 5 to 7 minutes.
