• olive oil and 3 tbs.
• butter on a medium to high heat, watching carefully.
• When hot and just starting to bubble, add the celery and carrots.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, for one minute.
• Add the onions and green peppers (and mushrooms if using-- see directions for make-ahead mushrooms below) and cook for another minute.
• Add the garlic and cook for another 1/2 minute to a minute until vegetables are tender.

• Add the chopped seafood, old bay seasoning, netmeg, sherry, worcestershire sauce, clam juice, and pepper to taste.

• Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary.

• olive oil and salt and place them in a shallow baking pan in one layer.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes (depending on size of mushrooms) and remove from oven to cool.
• Stuff the mushrooms evenly with the stuffing.

• of butter.
• Drizzle evenly over the mushrooms.
• If the mushrooms are room temperature, just broil them until the tops are crispy and they are heated through.
• If they are refrigerated or partially frozen, bake at 350 until heated through, then just run under the broiler for a few seconds to crisp the top, if necessary.
• Serve garnished with lemon wedges.
