The reason why people can't get the same taste as the keg is there is a key step missing from the recipe. You need to poach the mushroom caps in white wine prior to stuffing. <br/>This is a great recipe. Thanks!

A real recipe from The Keg. My friend used to work there and gave me a copy from their kitchen. This will make very large portion so you need to cut down size by quite a bit. Refrigerated cream cheese 3.3 lbs Thawed shrimp meat 16 oz. Thawed Dungeness crab 8 oz. Green onion 4 oz. Parmesan cheese 3 oz. Lemon juice 1 fl oz. Worcestshire sauce 1/2 fluid oz. Garlic powder 1/2 oz. Tabasco 4 drops Shelf life: 2 days Yield: 21 x 4 oz 114 g, portions Directions: In mixer bowl, combine cream cheese, and beat till softened with stiff beater attachment. Weigh out ingredients set aside. Squeeze/strain excess moisture from shrimp /crab meats. Excess moisture will turn the Neptune mix runny and unappealing. Finely chop green onions Add meats, green onions to cream cheese mix, then add all remaining ingredients. Blend at medium speed, 2 min

Pretty close, you do have to quickly poach the caps and make sure to pull all the water out of the crab by pressing in a towel. Having worked for the keg for six years, this is pretty close.

Almost like the Keg. Wish I read the reviews first and poached in white wine first. I will try that next time.

Very good! Very close to the Kegs. <br/><br/>I added a little more sour cream, added about a spoon full of parmesan cheese and left them in the oven 25min. Soooooo good!!
