Savory Seafood Stuffed Mushrooms

This seafood stuffed mushrooms recipe is one that you’ll go back to over and over It’s perfect for holidays, game days, or days that end with Y.

FACT: I’m horrible with leftovers.
Not horrible at creating them, just horrible about using them before they become science experiments in the back of my fridge.
My mom emblazoned the “waste not want not” mantra into my head, so I save everything, you guys.  It’s pathetic and a bit embarrassing, really.

PROOF: I may be a borderline hoarder of empty prescription bottles.
Geez, I can’t just throw away perfectly good tiny plastic bottles!

I’m absolutely convinced that as soon as I’ve placed them into the recycling bin, I’ll find some way to re-purpose them, causing me to have to risk my life as I run like a crazy woman down the street, chasing the garbage truck, screaming at the top of my lungs…

“STAHHHHHHP!! I NEED MY BOTTLES!!”

Rather than risking tragedies like that from happening, I’ll just keep those bottles safely in my junk drawer.  okie dokie?  🙂

Now where was I?  Ahh yes…leftovers.

Remember the crab omelette I made a couple of days ago?  Well, I had some of the crab meat left over, plus a few (6 to be exact) mushrooms that needed to be used up, so I thought I’d whip up something quick, easy, and delicious with them.

Cue the seafood stuffed mushrooms, please.

These are about as easy peasy of an appetizer to make as you can think of.  Unless you like peanut butter on toast as an appetizer.  That might be easier to make, but I bet it wouldn’t taste nearly as good as these cheesy, crab-filled mushrooms.  Pure bite-sized morsels of goodness.

If you’re looking for another delicious appetizer with seafood, check out these delicious deep fried tuna bites. They’re completely delicious!

Oh, and if you’ve got any ideas on ways for me to use empty prescription bottles, please leave those in the comments, too.  Thanks!
