CRAB STUFFED MUSHROOMS



Crab Stuffed Mushrooms image

This tasty appetizer seasoned with thyme, oregano, and savory. Choose good sized mushrooms, about 2 inches across. When cleaning mushrooms, don't run them under water. They are like little sponges, and will absorb it; just wipe them clean with a damp towel. The filling can be made with fresh, canned, or imitation crabmeat. If using canned, be sure to rinse it first.

CREOLE CRAB-STUFFED MUSHROOMS



Creole Crab-Stuffed Mushrooms image

Old Bay® and Creole seasoning elevate this crab and cream cheese filling to another level. Great party food!

Provided by amydawn319

Time 55m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 teaspoon butter for greasing, or as needed
1 (16 ounce) package cremini mushrooms
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
2 cups shredded Colby-Jack cheese, divided
1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
1 teaspoon Creole seasoning (such as Tony Chachere's®)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 pound fresh crabmeat
½ cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs

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.

STUFFED CRAB



Stuffed Crab image

Provided by Peter Feibleman

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield Serves 6 as a first course

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon butter, softened, plus 7 tablespoons butter cut into 1/2 -inch cubes
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons soft crumbs from a baguette or similar bread, pulverized in a blender
1/4 cup fish stock or clam broth
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
* pound fresh or frozen crab meat, drained
1/2 cup finely chopped scallions
2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Spread the softened butter over the bottoms of 6 medium-size natural or ceramic crab or scallop shells. In a large bowl, mix 2 cups of the bread crumbs with the fish stock and set aside.
  • In a heavy, 10-inch skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter cubes over moderate heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring often, until they are translucent, about 5 minutes. Transfer the onion mixture to the bowl of moistened bread crumbs. Add the crab meat, scallions, parsley, cayenne and salt, and mix well.
  • Mound the crabmeat mixture into the buttered shells. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of bread crumbs and remaining 3 tablespoons of butter cubes over the tops and lay the shells on a large, shallow baking dish. Bake in the upper third of the oven for 15 minutes, then put under the broiler for 30 seconds or so to brown the tops. Serve hot in the shells.

Tips:

  • Prep the Crabs Properly: Before cooking, clean the crabs thoroughly, removing any seaweed, mud, or debris. Use a stiff brush to scrub the shells and ensure you remove the yellow "mustard" from the center of the body.
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: Fresh crab meat is essential for creating flavorful stuffed crabs. Look for crabs that are firm and have a sweet, briny aroma. Use a variety of fresh herbs, such as parsley, thyme, and basil, to add depth of flavor to the stuffing.
  • Pack the Stuffing Tightly: When stuffing the crabs, pack it tightly so that it stays intact during baking. This will help prevent the stuffing from falling out and ensure even cooking.
  • Don't Overcook: Stuffed crabs cook quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Bake them until the crab meat is opaque and the stuffing is hot and bubbly. Overcooking can make the crab meat tough and dry.
  • Serve with Melted Butter: Melted butter is the classic accompaniment to stuffed crabs. It adds a rich, buttery flavor that complements the delicate crab meat. You can also serve stuffed crabs with lemon wedges, tartar sauce, or your favorite seafood dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

By following these recipes and tips, you can master the techniques and create stuffed crabs that will impress your family and friends.
