2-3 boxes of mushrooms depends on the size of mushrooms
1 lb fresh lump crab meat or 4 cans white lump crab meat
3 c fresh breadcrumbs( i like to use french bread) do not use canned
2 eggs
1 tsp garlic minced
1 tsp italian seasoning
2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1/2 c onion minced
1/2 c bell pepper very finely chopped
1/2 c mayonnaise
1 1/2 tsp tony's creole seasoning
LEMON,BUTTER, GARLIC SAUCE
1 stick butter( no subs )
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp tony's creole seasoning
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin

Steps:

1. I like to make this the day before,and give the seasoning time to get happy.lol But its good any time.
2. Pick though your fresh crabmeat to remove any shell that was left. IF YOU USE CANNED CRAB MEAT: WHEN YOU OPEN THE CAN DON'T REMOVE TOP ALL THE WAY, DRAIN ALL THE WATER OUT AND SHAKE THE CAN. WITH THE TOP CLOSED LET FRESH WATER FILL CAN AND DRAIN AGAIN . I DO THIS 3 TIMES THEN POUR THE CRAB IN A AIRTIGHT CONTAINER AND REFRIGERATE. KEEP COLD. THIS GETS REID OF THE CAN TASTE.
3. preheat oven to 400 degrees.Do not spray or grease bottom of cookie sheet.
4. Clean mushrooms: break off stems,(I save them and use them in another dish)with a damp paper towel wipe off mushroom caps.
5. In a large bowl add bread crumbs,creole seasoning,worcestershire,italian seasoning,onion,mayonnaise,eggs,garlic, and bell pepper, stir gently by hand until well mixed.
6. FOLD in the crab meat very gently, you don't want to break up your lump crab any more than you have to.
7. LEMON BUTTER, GARLIC SAUCE:
8. In small sauce pan add olive oil and garlic cook garlic about 2 min.,then add butter,creole seasoning and lemon juice. Simmer for 5 min.
9. Stuff mushrooms caps with desired amount of stuffing. Spoon about a 1/4 teas. of sauce over stuffed mushrooms. Use all of sauce.
10. Bake for 20-25 min. until light brown on top. Remove from oven and put on serving platter. Pour sauce that is in bottom of cookie sheet on top of mushrooms.Serve.
