Ingredients

  • GARLIC BUTTER:
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 1/2 sticks butter, unsalted, room temperature
  • juice & zest from 1 lemon
  • 1 cup parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 'SHROOMS:
  • 16 large cremini mushrooms, stems removed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, extra-virgin
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 8 ounces lump crab meat, picked over
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • black pepper
  • 1/4 cup panko (japanese bread crumbs)
  • lemon wedges, for serving

How To Make the crabby 'shroom

  • Step 1
    MAKE THE GARLIC BUTTER: Pulse the garlic in a food processor until chopped. Add the butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, salt & pepper; pulse until smooth. Chill at least 30 minutes.
  • Step 2
    PREPARE THE MUSHROOMS: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the mushrooms with 1 Tbsp oil & season with salt. Fill each mushroom with 1 heaping tsp of the garlic butter (reserve the remaining garlic butter for crab filling). Arrange the mushrooms snugly in a baking dish & bake until tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Step 3
    Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 Tbsp oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot & crabmeat; cook until the shallot is soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in the wine & cook until slightly reduced, about 1 minute. Stir in the reserved garlic butter (about 1/3 C) until melted. Season with salt & pepper. Remove from the heat & push the crab mixture to one side of the skillet; let any excess juices collect.
  • Step 4
    Remove the mushrooms from the oven & preheat the broiler. Stuff the mushrooms with the crab mixture. Toss the panko with the juices in the skillet; sprinkle over the mushrooms. Broil until golden, about 2 minutes. Squeeze lemon wedges on top.
