Ingredients
- 1 (5-ounce) lobster tail
- 12 shrimp, fresh or frozen, thawed
- 1 small bunch crab claws
- 1 cup Ritz cracker crumbs
- Hungarian pepper
- Salt
- Pepper
- 1 pound large mushrooms
- Olive oil
- 10 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1/4 cup green pepper, chopped
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 1 egg
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 pound melted butter
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. BBQ or boil all seafood: lobster 5 to 10 minutes, shrimp 3 to 5 minutes, crab 3 minutes. Remove shells from the seafood and chop. Chop all seafood and set aside. Mix together Ritz cracker crumbs, Hungarian pepper, salt and pepper and set aside. Carefully remove the stems from the mushrooms, chop finely and set aside. Add olive oil to a saute pan and add garlic. After 1 minute, add the chopped green pepper and onion. Continue to saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Add chopped mushroom stems and saute until cooked. Saute over medium heat until the mixture is reduced. Add the seafood mixture and mix well. Remove from the heat and stir in the Ritz crumb mixture. In a separate bowl blend the egg and water. Add the egg/water mixture to the pan and mix well. Stuff each mushroom cap with a small portion of the seafood mixture. Brush with melted butter and top with cheese. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

Hungarian pepper is Paprika. Use as you would salt and pepper, a little goes a long way. You could also use a little old bay instead of the hungarian pepper.
I used straight crab meat and they were wonderful.

this is awsome recipe. couldnt find for awhile took forever, had it befor. but omg i dont want no other recipie..
I can’t find Hungarian pepper anywhere, all my google searches come up with Hungarian wax peppers. The rest of the recipe looks decent, but please explain further if you are going to use hard to find ingredients.
I left out the lobster and it was great. But, I had a huge amount of crab to use. The paprika is sprinkled on top.
how much hungarian paprika (I assume) did you put in? cannot rate without this quesiton answered.
Loved them been making them now for 2 years!
This was surprisingly good probably the best stuffed mushrooms i’ve had in a while. Substituted claws with king crab legs, left out the lobster because there was none available & turned out great. I also left out the hungarian pepper, I dont know what it is and couldn’t find it anyway. Needed 2 lbs. mushrooms, not 1. I agree it makes an awesome dip, just leave out the water & egg.
Great taste,texture; adjusted the following:
6 oz can of crabmeat (what is a “small bunch of crab claws?”; banana pepper is “Hungarian,” don’t need 1/4 cup green pepper; 24 large mushrooms, more like two pounds.

And agree: makes a great hot dip.
These were great stuffed mushrooms. Easy to make and the stuffing also makes a great hot dip.
