Thai-style Crab Cake Stuffed Mushrooms for #FishFridayFoodies

I had fun racking my brain for what to make for this month's #FishFridayFoodies theme.  Our hostess this month is Stacy of Food Lust People Love and she suggested Seafood Fillings.

I was actually doubtful that I would even participate in this but then got that AHA!!!! moment, and I knew what I wanted to make.  And since I was going to a potluck this past week, I decided to go ahead and make it. 

I've been working on a new crab cake recipe and almost had it right the last time I made it, but something was missing, but I got it now.

Boy do I got it, and I'll share the full Crab Cake recipe later on.
But for now, it's Fish Friday Foodies time and it's time to use a seafood as a filling.
I think my crab cakes are perfect for these little bites of YUM.




Yield: 24 stuffed mushrooms

Thai Style Crab and Shrimp Stuffed Mushrooms

prep time: cook time: total time:

ingredients:


6 oz. Crab Meat
6 oz. Shrimp - peeled and deveined
1 teaspoon fish sauce
2 teaspoons Green Curry Paste - stirred into 2 teaspoons water
1 egg
1 cup Panko
24 large Mushroom Caps

instructions:


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Stir the Curry Paste, water, egg and fish sauce together.   Place the shrimp into a small food processor and process to a paste, leaving a few chunks of shrimp.  Place the crab meat, shrimp and panko into a bowl and mix together.  Add the egg, fish sauce, curry paste and the water, mix together.  I like to place a glove on my hands and use my hands to toss it together, this ensures an even mix, without mooshing it together too much.   Set in the fridge for a minute while you prepare the mushroom caps. 
Prepare  the mushrooms by taking out the stems, but don't throw them away, reserve for another use. 
Scoop up a tablespoon or so of the crab mixture, using a small scoop and place on the inside of the mushroom cap.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until the mushrooms and crab/shrimp mixture is cooked and is browned a little . (If they don't look too browned, turn the temp up to 375 degrees and bake an additional 3-5 minutes).
Serve.

    1. Thanks Wendy, I had fun with this. I actually made a version of the crab filling for a crab cake cook off this past summer and lost, but that's ok. The recipe wasn't quite what I wanted, but I got it now.

    1. They seemed to appreciate not only the mushrooms but also the crab cakes I made alongside. And I'm so going to make these again.
