CRAB STUFFED PORTOBELLOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Put a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of the coconut oil. Once heated, add the portobello stems and sliced scallions and saute until tender, about 2 minutes. Fold in the crabmeat, Creole seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste. Brush the mushroom caps with the last tablespoon of coconut oil. Stuff the caps with the crab filling and put into the oven to roast for 15 minutes.
• Remove the mushrooms from the oven and top with the Parmesan. Put back into the oven and continue cooking until the cheese has melted, another 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and cut as desired for serving.

Stir in lemon juice, crabmeat, soft bread crumbs, egg, dill weed and 1/4 cup Monterey Jack cheese. Thoroughly blend the mixture.

ALL PURPOSE CRAB STUFFING

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
• For stuffed shrimp -- butterfly them and put one tbsp of mixture on top and bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. Use the biggest shrimp you can find!
• For mussels -- place one tbsp of mixture on top of mussels and bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes. (I buy a two pound frozen bag of New Zealand Mussels on the half shell from Fiesta Market. Just thaw -- top with some stuffing mixture and bake. Delicious!).
• Makes enough for generously stuffing 20 large shrimp or 2 lbs of mussels on the half shell.
• Sometimes I will drizzle melted butter over each stuffed mussel or shrimp but do so very very lightly. I will melt butter in the micro and then using a 1/8 tsp measuring spoon pour on each shrimp/mussel. Too much butter and it will become too rich.
• Lightly sprinkle paprika over all.
• I love this.
