Spicy Crab Stuffed Mushrooms
Another recipe we want to share that was a big hit at our Thanksgiving Potluck is the Spicy Crab Stuffed Mushrooms that was made by our friend Cecille. It’s adapted from Everyday is a Party Cookbook by Emeril Lagasse, but it’s changed up a bit to our preference. When you combine mushrooms with crab, jalapenos, and cheese, you really get a winning appetizer! Cecille remade these crab stuffed mushrooms again with us and we made sure that it’s captured for your viewing pleasure. Of course, it would be even better if you tried out the recipe for yourself! We provided the link below to Emeril’s recipe at Food Network, but you can also follow the directions in our photos if you’d like to try our version with a few changes.
We used 1 pound of king crab meat, which we pulsed in the food processor.
Other ingredients to add to the crab: 1 tsp chopped garlic, half red onion diced, 1/2 cup chopped jalapenos, 1/4 lb grated pepper jack cheese, and 2 ounces grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. (Note: Emeril's recipe doesn't call for red onion, but we added it in for a little crunch).
To that mixture, add 1/4 cup Japanese mayonnaise, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tsp hot sauce. Mix well.
Instead of button mushrooms, we used Portobellos instead. Stuff each mushroom with a good amount of crab mixture and top with some more grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 30 minutes.
Spicy Crab Stuffed Mushrooms are perfect if you want to please your family and friends. The creamy crab filling has a nice kick of heat which really pairs well with the mushroom flavor. I would be surprised if you have any leftovers!

Lovely! I’ve always seen these stuffed with a vegetarian filling but I love the sound of this crab filling!

Oh, I love mushrooms and what could be better than mushrooms filled with crab! Sounds and looks so delicious!

Stuffed mushrooms are always a favorite at parties. I love the idea of stuffing them with crab. They look divine!
Great photo of the finished product (put that baby at the top – show it off!) This sounds like a fabulous combination of flavors – can’t go wrong with crab, cheese & jalapenos.

I love the spicy crab stuffing, scrumptious mushrooms!
This looks so good! I love jalapenos, and mushrooms always taste better after being cooked and their flavour thereby intensified…

Crab and mushroom. It can’t get any better than that. really. I’d love to have that for dinner tonight.

these are wonderful, the jalapenos gives it more flavor.
These look really delicious. I would love to try. It’s a great party food too. Thanks for sharing.
These would be wonderful to serve for a party. I had sort of forgotten about stuffed mushrooms. I used to make all different ones years ago. Thanks for bringing them back into my brain.
Stuffed mushrooms are one of my favorite appetizers. These look fantastic!
This looks like a good idea!! Lovely!
I love stuffed mushrooms at restaurants, so this recipe will come in handy! Can you toss the garlic, onions and peppers in the processor to save time or do you need to chop them so they don’t end up too fine?
I love my friends and family, but sorry – these would all be for me! (Alright, perhaps I’ll share with the husband . . . )
Hey Andy – great question, and great point! It is definitely more efficient to throw everything in the food processor. I would probably do the crab separately from the other ingredients, then mix it in together. Thanks for pointing that out!
Your photos complement the recipe.
[...] mushrooms are one of my favorite appetizers, so I will definitely be giving these Spicy Crab Stuffed Mushrooms from The Food Addicts a try very [...]
Yay! Thanks for picking us as your Friday Favorites!
Spicy? Crab? Mushrooms? I absolutely can’t wait to try these!!
That looks fantastic. I’d like to have that on a big old kaiser roll for lunch! GREG
Oh Yum, I was saving this to look at when I got the chance! Krissy you guys eat well, wish you would come cook for me this weekend!
We seem to have the same taste buds – I made these for a get-together with friends just last month (http://comfortofcooking.blogspot.com/2010/02/savory-crab-stuffed-mushrooms.html) Yours look absolutely delicious, and I like that you used portabello mushrooms instead of the usual stuffing mushrooms!
I really enjoy thumbing through all of your recipes, Krissy and Daniel! Food is such a great passion to be able to share together! Can’t wait to see more.
