Crab Stuffed Mushrooms Make The Perfect Party Appetizer

Before you know it, we’ll be getting ready for the new year and thinking about party food, so I thought this was a good time to jump ahead to party planning.

What’s Needed To Make The Crab Stuffing For Stuffed Mushrooms

To make these simple crab stuffed mushrooms you need crab meat, lemons, piquante peppers, mayonnaise, chives, and green onions.

I’ve made this recipe using both fresh and canned crab (yes, canned – it’s better than you’d imagine) so if you’re in a place that you can easily get fresh seafood, you can still easily make this dish.

How to Prepare the Mushrooms to Be StuffedA pan lined with mushroom caps

To prepare a mushroom to be stuffed, clean and trim off the ends of stems from mushrooms. Then pop what’s left of the stem out of the cap.

How To Make Crab Stuffing for Mushrooms

Add the crab meat to a bowl and make sure there are no shell fragments left in with the meat.A glass bowl with white lump crab meat

Add the chopped piquante peppers, chives, and green onions.Chopped peppers, chives and green onions in the bowl with the crab

Add the mayonnaise, lemon zest, and parsley. The mayonnaise, parsley and lemon zest added to the crab mixture

Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice.The lemon juice being added to the crab mixture in the bowl

Cook’s Tips:

  • Easily fill the mushrooms by using a small spring release scoop (like a cookie scoop).
  • Make-ahead up to 3 hours before serving by stuffing and then cover, and refrigerate until ready to bake.

FAQs

Can you freeze Crab Stuffed Mushrooms?

You can freeze crab stuffed mushrooms as long as your crabmeat has never been previously frozen.

To Freeze Stuffed Mushrooms

  • Line the baking pan with parchment paper to make it easier to remove the mushrooms once they’re frozen. Prepare the recipe as instructed without cooking.
  • Place the stuffed mushrooms on the lined baking pan, about an inch apart.
  • Put the pan in the freezer for 2 to 3 hours (until the mushrooms are frozen).
  • Place the frozen stuffed mushrooms into a freezer bag and expel as much air as possible from the bag.  Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • When ready to serve the frozen stuffed mushrooms, cook them from frozen until the internal temperature is at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
