Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then sauté onion and garlic for about 3 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
Add chopped mushroom stems and spinach; cook until spinach is wilted and liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
In a bowl, mix crab, shrimp, cream cheese, mayonnaise, Parmesan, parsley, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
Fold the cooled spinach mixture into the seafood mixture.
Spoon filling into mushroom caps, pressing gently to pack.
Arrange stuffed mushrooms on prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until mushrooms are tender and tops are golden and bubbling.
Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.

Notes

Prepare ahead and refrigerate unbaked up to 24 hours in advance.

Use frozen spinach, thawed and drained, if preferred.

Lump or claw crab meat works well.

Cook spinach mixture thoroughly to avoid soggy mushrooms.

Dairy-free substitutions possible with plant-based cream cheese and Parmesan.

Leftovers keep in fridge up to 3 days; reheat in oven for best texture.
