Notes
Portobello Mushroom Tips
If you can't find the jumbo portobello mushrooms that are 4+ inches wide you can use smaller ones. You'll just want to use 6-8 to use up all of the crab fillings.
Make Ahead
If you'd like to make these Crab Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms ahead of time, prep the crab stuffing and keep it in the fridge. You can also prep the mushrooms and by washing and removing the stems and gills, store those in the fridge. When you are ready to eat the mushrooms and stuff bake them. I would not do this more than a day ahead of time though since it's fresh seafood.
Storage & Leftovers
These are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days since there is crab in it.
Freezing
You can freeze the cooked mushrooms for a quick meal later. Freeze them in a freezer-safe container and they can keep for up to three months.
