Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Step 2

Wash your mushrooms and allow them to dry. I usually use paper towel to do this because it is faster than letting them sit, upside down, on a tea towel.

Step 3

Open cans of shrimp and crab and drain well. Set aside.

Step 4

Prepare a rimmed baking sheet with tinfoil and place your mushrooms on top and paint each with olive oil.

Step 5

Bake for 4-5 minutes in the oven to soften so they don’t drip water when you bite into them.

Step 6

Remove mushrooms from oven and when cool enough to handle remove each stem. Reserve stems for another use. Using a spoon scrape out gills until mushroom is cleaned.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl combine cream cheese, sour cream, grated or shredded cheese, garlic, shrimp, crab, green onions and pepper. Blend really well.

Step 8

Pour and scrape contents of the bowl into a resealable bag. Press mixture into one of the bottom corners and then cut the corner off.

Step 9

Squeeze mixture in to mushroom caps one at a time. Press bag deep inside of each mushroom to get as much in there as possible making sure there is extra on top of the mushroom. Not overflowing but my husband always says it's like making a soft serve ice cream!

Step 10

Place filled mushroom caps on top of rack back on your prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and nice and brown. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Step 11

Add a crunchy topping: To add an extra bit of flavor and texture, consider topping the filling with a sprinkle of Panko breadcrumbs or crushed Ritz crackers before you bake them.

Step 12

Clean them right: Make sure you clean the mushrooms the right way before you stuff them. Wash them under running water and pat them dry immediately or use a damp towel to clean them if they already look clean.

Step 13

Fully dry your mushrooms: Make sure you remove all traces of moisture from the surface before you start filling the mushrooms with the mixture. Even just a bit of moisture can cause the mushrooms to steam and turn soft.

Step 14

Keep the stems. Don't discard the stems! You can chop them up to throw into an omelet, stir fry, or any other dish for a boost of umami flavor.
