Ingredients

• 12 pieces large white mushroom caps
• 1 cup cooked crab meat
• 0.5 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons green onion, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon dried dill
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Clean the mushroom caps by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and gently scrape out the gills to create space for the filling. Set the mushroom caps aside.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked crab meat, chopped shrimp, softened cream cheese, green onion, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, dried dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.

Step 4

Spoon the seafood filling into each mushroom cap, packing it tightly and mounding it slightly over the top.

Step 5

Place the filled mushroom caps on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 6

Brush the tops of the filled mushrooms with melted butter to help with browning.

Step 7

Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the stuffed mushroom caps.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 2–3 minutes before transferring to a serving platter.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your Mushroom Cap Neptune appetizer!
