Crab Rangoon Stuffed Mushrooms

Recipe Notes

  • Advance Prep: 15 minutes
  • Active Prep: 20 minutes
  • Grill Time: 25 minutes
  • Total Time: 60 minutes
  • Yield: Makes: 12 stuffed mushrooms
  • Method: Indirect and direct grilling, and Smoke-roasting (optional)
  • Equipment: Oscarware perforated grill topper, Gas grill with indirect heat setup, Mixing bowl, Small skillet or pan (for frying wontons), Smoker box (optional)

Ingredients

  • 8 oz lump crab meat
  • 6 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced (plus more for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup toasted panko breadcrumbs
  • 12 small portobello mushrooms, stems removed
  • 3–4 wonton wrappers
  • Thai chili sauce, for drizzling
  • Optional: wood chunks for smoke (e.g., cherry or oak)

Recipe Steps

1. Make the Filling:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine crab meat, softened cream cheese, soy sauce, green onions, lemon zest, and toasted panko. Mix until well blended.
  • Chill the filling in the fridge while you prepare the mushrooms and grill.

2. Prep the Mushrooms:

  • Gently clean mushrooms and remove stems. Set aside.

3. Crisp the Wonton Wrappers:

  • Slice wonton wrappers into strips or leave whole.
  • Fry in hot oil until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels and set aside to cool. These will be crushed and used as a crunchy topping.

4. Set Up the Grill:

  • Prepare your grill for indirect grilling at medium-high heat (about 375–400°F).
  • Place 1–2 wood chunks in the smoker box if using.

5. Stuff the Mushrooms:

  • Spoon the chilled crab Rangoon mixture into each mushroom cap.
  • Place the mushrooms on the Oscarware perforated grill topper. (Tip: Add the food to the topper before placing it on the grill to prevent sticking.)

6. Grill the Mushrooms:

  • Use the grill topper to transfer the mushrooms to the grill.
  • Grill indirectly (cool side of the grill) with the lid closed for 20 minutes.
  • Move the mushrooms over direct heat for the last 5 minutes to finish with a slight char.

7. Finish and Serve:

  • Remove the grill topper from the grill (it doubles as a serving tray).
  • Top each mushroom with crushed wonton wrappers, more sliced green onion, and a drizzle of Thai chili sauce.
  • Serve warm as an appetizer or side.
