Ingredients
12 large mushroom caps
12 medium cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup lump crab meat
2 cups fresh spinach
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

6. Fill each mushroom cap generously with the crab-spinach filling.
7. Top each mushroom with one shrimp and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and a little more breadcrumbs.

9. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
Make ahead tip: Assemble mushrooms up to a day in advance, then bake fresh.
For extra flavor, add a dash of white wine or lemon juice to the skillet when sautéing.
Swap out shrimp for a thin slice of scallop or crispy bacon for variation.
