PORTABELLA MUSHROOMS TOPPED WITH CRAB IMPERIAL A LA JOHN SHIELDS
A personal favorite! This is very close to the appetizer served at John Shields' restaurant at the Baltimore Museum of Art called "Gertrude's," which started me on this chase. Some people say everything is better with bacon; I say everything is better with dry sherry! At Gertrude's, John Shields further reduces the butter/sherry liquid to create a thick pool on the plate on which to place the stuffed mushrooms; if you prefer to do that, use 4 tablespoons butter to saute the bell peppers and chopped mushrooms. And if the only crabmeat you can get is the pasteurized canned crabmeat, this recipe gives you your best shot at making it taste GOOD. From "Chesapeake Bay Cooking with John Shields". Note: In Maryland, crab-stuffed mushrooms can resemble a crab cake sitting atop a mushroom cap "plate"; do not picture a mushroom cap with scant filling, that's not our style. You do not want the taste of the portabello mushrooms to overwhelm the crab.

CRAB IMPERIAL STUFFED PORTOBELLOS
Crab imperial baked in a Ramekin just got UPGRADED. Feel free to omit the cheese if you choose or experiment with different types of cheese. I have used mozzarella, provolone, Swiss, Fontina and Asiago. All with good results, but i initially added to keep the mushroom moisture from entering the Imperial

Steps:
- 1. Place cookie sheet or glass casserole dish in oven and preheat to 400
- 2. Wipe any loose dirt off of mushroom caps with a dry paper towel. Scrape gills off underside with the edge of a spoon. And cut stem off at base.
- 3. Places slice of cheese on each mushroom cap
- 4. Pick through crab meat to make sure there's no shells
- 5. Chefs Note Start with 1 tbsp of mayonnaise and add more if needed. We're just looking to bind the crab meat. If you feel that it's to moist just add another sprinkle of bread crumbs
- 6. Add remaining ingredients ( except paprika ) and mix into crab meat
- 7. Divide mixture and scoop into mushroom caps, leveling and spreading evenly. Take a small scoop of mayonnaise and thinly spread across the top of crab meat to seal
- 8. Sprinkle top with paprika
- 9. Place mushrooms on preheated cookie sheet, or glass casserole dish put in oven and bake for 20 minutes
Tips:
- Choose large portobello mushrooms with intact stems. Clean them thoroughly, removing any dirt or debris.
- To remove the gills from the mushrooms, use a spoon to gently scrape them off. This will help prevent the mushrooms from releasing too much moisture during cooking.
- To ensure even cooking, pound the mushrooms flat using a meat mallet or rolling pin. You can also use a sharp knife to score the mushrooms in a criss-cross pattern.
- For a crispy texture, pan-fry the mushrooms until golden brown. You can also brush them with oil and bake them in the oven until tender and slightly charred.
- Make sure the crab imperial filling is cooked thoroughly before stuffing the mushrooms. You can check this by inserting a toothpick into the center of the filling. If it comes out clean, the filling is cooked.
- Serve the stuffed mushrooms immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or lemon wedges.
Conclusion:
Portabella mushrooms topped with crab imperial are a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With their rich and savory flavor, these stuffed mushrooms are sure to impress your guests. The combination of tender mushrooms, creamy crab imperial filling, and crispy breadcrumb topping makes this dish a true culinary delight.
