Crab-Stuffed Mushrooms
Description:
The little cavity made when the stem is popped off a mushroom just begs to be filled with something scrumptious. Instead of the usual spinach or cheese, we've created a creamy crab filling, seasoned with shallots and fresh thyme, thus making these mushrooms a sensual treat . Be sure to eat them with your fingers!
