Low Carb Crab Stuffed Mushrooms

Submitted by TheDancingCook

"South Beach and Atkins friendly, these mushrooms are missing the typical breadcrumb ingredient but they're so good you won't even notice! Makes a great appetizer, a side dish to meat or fish or even as a main dish served with a salad."

Why does this "Low Carb" recipe call for Low-fat Mayo? Hellman's Low Fat Mayonnaise Dressing contains 2 grams of carbohydrates per serving. The regular full-fat version (Real Mayonnaise) contains 0 grams of carbs.

Made these (very simple recipe) for my husband (who can be very picky) and he LOVED them. He stated they are restaurant quality, and I would gave to agree.

This was easy and good. I used the suffing to fill a couple of portabello mushrooms for dinner and baked them for 25 minutes. Next time I might saute some celery and red pepper and add that to the stuffing.

Simple and delicious - a great combination. I loved this and will make it often. I did add some garlic, but that is a personal preference - this would be fine even without it.
