(Bellingham, WA)

Love crab? Love mushrooms? You'll love this Crab Stuffed Mushrooms recipe we found in Recreational Dungeness Crabbing. (It will open into a new window.)

This is a perfect outdoors crab appetizer, too, for like a deck party or beach party! You can place tin foil down on a grill and grill them as well. Just keep an eye on them...


Ingredients:




  • 30-35 medium sized mushrooms

  • 1/2 cup butter

  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion

  • 2 cloves garlic-minced

  • 3/4 cup bread crumbs

  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • 1 cup fresh crab meat

  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese





Clean the mushrooms and remove the stems. Place the mushrooms on a greased cookie sheet and set aside.

Melt the butter in a medium sized sauce pan on medium low heat. Saute' the onions until they are translucent, then add the garlic and lightly saute'.

Remove from heat and add the bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, crab meat and cheese; mix well.

Generously fill the mushrooms with the mixture, packing it down.

Broil on low for 5-7 minutes until lightly golden browned on top. Or add them in the summertime to the top rack of your grill!

Garnish with finely chopped tomatoes and fresh basil.

The crab filling can be refrigerated for up to 2 days prior to cooking.

Hope you enjoy this crab stuffed mushrooms recipe!

There's a special way to tell when crabs are done cooking. Their shells will turn bright red when properly cooked.
Already cooked crab meat is widely available. Although it's often sold frozen, seek out fresh cooked crab meat for the best flavor and texture. In the months of September through April, during most crab fishing seasons is when the local fish markets often sell cooked whole crabs. Ask for them to be cleaned and cracked, or take them home crack them yourself and then remove the meat.
