Ingredients

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Italian-style seasoned bread crumbs
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 (6 ounce) cans crabmeat, drained and flaked
  • 18 large fresh mushrooms, stems removed
  • 1/4 cup cooking sherry

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook and stir the garlic in the butter until tender.
  • In a medium bowl, mix garlic and butter, chili powder, 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, Italian-style breadcrumbs, salt and pepper. Increase the amount of mayonnaise, if desired. Fold in the crabmeat.
  • Stuff mushroom caps generously with the mixture from the bowl.
  • Pour cooking sherry in a large baking dish. Arrange stuffed mushroom caps, stuffing side up, in the baking dish. Top with remaining Parmesan cheese. Bake 10 minutes in the preheated oven.
  • Raise oven temperature to broil. Continue cooking mushrooms 3 to 5 minutes, or until stuffing is bubbly and lightly browned. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
