We've cooked a lot of meat already and I think it's now time to try seafood recipes.  Why eat Seafood? Because seafood has lots of benefits for example, Crab - it is low in calories and also a good source of omega 3 which can improve memory and decrease the chances of heart attack and certain cancers. It is also a good source of vitamins A, C and B vitamins and minerals like Zinc and Copper. Yes, it does contains fat but  it is generally unsaturated fat which is considered heart healthy. There are lots of ways to cook a crab but in this article, we will try a very delicious and healthy dish together with mushrooms

What do we need:

1 1/2 cups Dungeness Crab body meat (gently squeeze out moisture)
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
6 tablespoons chopped celery
1/4 teaspoon coarse black pepper
Crab dressing (see instructions below)
30 medium size white mushrooms, cleaned with damp cloth

Hollandaise sauce, warm

Ingredients for Dressing:

In a mixing bowl combine the following with a whip:

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup sour cream

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon salt (do not add if crab meat is already salty)
3 drops of Tabasco

Directions:

In a mixing bowl, combine crab, onions, celery and black pepper

Add only enough dressing to moisten well

Cover and refrigerate, unless serving immediately

To Finish and Serve:
Remove stems from mushrooms and fill with crab mixture
Place mushrooms in a baking pan
Bake in 400 degree oven until hot and mushrooms are soft (8-10 minutes)
Remove to serving platter and drizzle with warm Hollandaise sauce

Enjoy!
