This recipe was great! The shitake mushrooms at my grocery store didn't seem large enough and deep enough for the stuffing, so I used baby bellas. They were also quite a bit cheaper! Also, I used imitation crabmeat. I don't think it affected the taste, since it was great! The cooking/prep time seems to bit a little off. It took my cream longer than 10 minutes to reduce, and then you also have to bake another 10 minutes. Will definetely make again!

I took these to a party with a Hawaiian theme, and based on the fact that there was not one left, I'd say they were 5 stars. I personally do not care for coconut, so that is why I am basing the 5 stars on everyone elses reaction. I substituted white button mushrooms for the portabellos b/c that is all that my grocery store had that would have worked for stuffing. If I were to make it again with the white mushrooms I would add a couple of tbsp. of butter or drizzled the mushrooms with a little oil to prevent them from drying out in the oven. It also took the white mushrooms a lot longer to cook - like 15-20 minutes. I might try this again without the coconut milk -just my personal taste. But I guess then they wouldn't be Hawaiian! Thanks Lorac
