Crab Stuffed Mushrooms
 
These Surimi Seafood Stuffed Mushrooms are a delight to the senses.  Colorful, full of flavor and aromatic.  I made them last weekend, and when my Mom walked into my house, taking a big deep breath in she asked “WHAT are you making? It smells so good!”  When I told her I had the opportunity to develop a recipe for Simply Surimi her ears perked up and she asked what I was making.

Initially I thought about a seafood bisque, but then my mind went toward appetizers, and it got stuck on mushrooms.  Stuffed mushrooms.  It’s no secret how much I love to cook with mushrooms.  Out of the six of us, I had one child that didn’t particularly care for them, my oldest.  He has skillfully picked them out of his food for his almost 23 years of life.  Until a little while ago when he got the “try them you might like them” talk again … now I have another mushroom eater in the family.  As we grow up, our tastes change, too.  My mom makes these broccoli stuffed mushrooms every year on Christmas Eve, and it’s like a race to the plate when they come out of the oven.  I thought it would be fun to have another option.  A seafood option.

There is a little prep to these little beauties, but once they are prepped you can either bake them and eat them, or stash them in the fridge until you are ready for them.  I used Baby Bella Mushrooms, but if you prefer, you could use white mushrooms, too.  Cut the stems off and hollow out the mushroom.  I used my strawberry huller. Chop up the stems and middles, set aside.  Chop up the Surimi seafood some red or orange bell pepper, and a little sweet onion.
 
Add some butter to your cast iron skillet, and over medium heat, saute onion and pepper for about 5 minutes, add in garlic and mushrooms and continue to cook until onions are translucent.  Add in your Surimi Seafood, sprinkle with Old Bay Seasoning and a little salt and pepper.  Give it a good stir, and remove it from the heat.  Stir in the bread crumbs and smoked gouda cheese.
 
Scoop the filling into a bowl and give the skillet a quick wipe with a paper towel, you will be using it again.

Scoop the filling into the mushrooms and fill the hollowed out part, leaving a little mound of stuffing on top.   Place the stuffed ‘shrooms back into the skillet.  Divide bits of butter throughout the pan.

Place in the oven, and bake for about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with sliced green onions before serving hot.

These turned out so much better than I could have ever imagined.  My next package of Simply Surimi will grace one of our favorite pasta dishes.
