    These delicious gluten-free Keto Crab Stuffed Mushrooms are easy to make with a cream cheese filling. They are low carb because we ditched the bread crumbs, and rich and cheesy with a light seafood flavor.

    Whenever I make these keto crab stuffed mushrooms they disappear in no time flat. It doesn't matter if people are on keto or not, these mushrooms are delicious and everyone loves them!

    After I went low carb I had to come up with a recipe to replace our family's favorite stuffed mushrooms. The original recipe contained breadcrumbs and I knew that was a big no-no. Luckily the bread crumbs really aren't necessary and the results are a delicious low carb and gluten-free appetizer.

    I have to admit that I have made a meal of just a few of these tasty mushrooms and a salad!

    These Keto Crab Stuffed Mushrooms are one of my favorite ways to feel fancy without actually having to work hard.

    Seafood recipes always feel fancy, don't they? I think because we all think seafood is so hard to work with. But these stuffed mushrooms are proof that isn't true.

    They are really a maximum reward dish with minimal work, and I am here for that ALL.DAY.LONG.

    That is why these Keto Crab Stuffed Mushrooms are one of the #1 appetizers I take to any and all get-togethers!

    • Olive oil
    • Green onions
    • Red bell pepper
    • Crab meat
    • Cream cheese

    🔪How to Make Keto Crab Stuffed Mushrooms

    This is a basic breakdown of the steps involved in making Keto Crab Stuffed Mushrooms. The full directions are in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

    Scraping the gills out of a mushroom with a spoon.

    Remove the stems from the mushrooms and chop. Carefully scraped out the gills to make room for the stuffing.

    Hint: if you cannot find crab you can substitute chopped shrimp.

    How to Clean Mushrooms

    There are two schools of thought when it comes to cleaning mushrooms. 

    One is that you either rinse the mushrooms under running water or dunk them completely in cold water to remove the dirt and grit. This is a quick and easy option that a lot of people use, however, I really feel that this technique changes the mushroom's texture and makes them a bit spongy, so I don't like cleaning them this way.

    The method that I use is to dampen a paper towel and gently wipe off the dirt. It does take a few extra minutes, but the result is worth it to me. 

    🍽Equipment

    This is the equipment you will need to make Keto Crab Stuffed Mushrooms:

    • Baking sheet
    • Large skillet
    • Chef's knife
    • Large cutting board
    • Measuring cups and spoons set
    • Large Mixing Bowl

    Storage

    Store any leftover Keto Crab Stuffed Mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    I do not recommend freezing these stuffed mushrooms after they are cooked but you can freeze them once they are prepped and ready to go in the oven. Freeze the mushrooms on a parchment-lined baking tray. Once they are frozen you can transfer them to a freezer bag. You can cook the mushrooms from frozen.

    FAQ about Keto Crab Stuffed Mushrooms

    Can I make these Keto Stuffed Mushrooms with another seafood?

    Yes, I know crab can be kind of pricey and doesn't go on sale very often, so I have made these Keto Stuffed Mushrooms with shrimp too. The flavor is not as strong but is very good as an alternative.

    Can I make these Keto Crab Stuffed Mushrooms ahead of time?

    You could make the filling the day before and store it in an airtight container in your fridge. Just make sure to take it out and allow it to warm up on the counter or add some extra cooking time to get the filling to temperature.

    How long will the leftover Keto Crab Stuffed Mushrooms last in the refrigerator?

    They will keep for 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat any leftover mushrooms in the microwave by transferring them to a microwave-safe dish and covering them with plastic wrap or waxed paper. Alternatively, you can place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cover them in foil to reheat in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes.
