    Scallop Stuffed Mushrooms

    There is nothing average about these delicious scallop stuffed mushrooms! It’s the scallop mixture that makes this appetizer stand out!

    How I feel about scallop stuffed mushrooms?

    I love them so much!!!  And this scallop stuffed mushrooms recipe is so delicious that your guests will want you to serve them every time they come over.  You just wait and see.

    What makes these stand out?

    1. Scallops are a mild tasting seafood that compliment the subtle taste of mushrooms
    2. Scallops and mushrooms have a similar texture of soft resistance
    3. The scallop preparation lends the mushrooms succulence and delicious flavor
    4. The combination of herbs and spices, along with a healthy dose of garlic, gives the stuffing mix robust flavor
    5. Your guests eyes light up when they realize you’ve added scallops to these mushrooms

    Helpful tips

    • Use sea scallops, but if you must use bay scallops, reduce the cook time to 5 minutes after you add the butter and put them back in the oven (so a total of 15 minutes)
    • Use good-sized mushrooms
    • Use a combination of baby portobello and white mushrooms
    • Clean mushrooms with a dry paper towel; never use water as it makes the mushrooms slimy
    • You will probably have leftover scallop stuffing mix, which you can eat fresh or freeze

    Do you have to use sea scallops or can you use bay scallops?

    I always use sea scallops in this dish because although I love bay scallops, the latter are too small and can get a little rubbery when you cook them. So I say, go with sea scallops. They are tender and delicious.

    Also, since you’ll chop them up after you cook them, you can stuff mushrooms with sea scallops just as easily as you could with the smaller bay scallops.

    How to make scallop stuffed mushrooms

    Pre-step

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Step one

    Rinse the scallops and dry them with a paper towel. Place them in a casserole dish with melted butter.

    Step two

    Gather the ingredients – breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, herbs and spices. (A)

    Step three

    Add the ingredients to a mixing bowl and mix until combined and sprinkle the crumb mixture over the scallops. (B)

    Breadcrumbs mixture ingredients in a small bowl, parm cheese and the scallops and butter in a casserole dish. And  the breadcrumb mixture poured on top

    Step four

    Cover and bake for 10 minutes.

    Step five

    Take the scallops out of the oven and add butter (c) and mix the scallops with a spoon. Cover and bake for 10 minutes.

    Step six

    Pull scallops out of the oven, uncover them and to let them cool somewhat. (D)

    Lower the oven to 350.

    Step seven

    Meanwhile at the same time the scallops are baking, brush the dirt off the mushrooms and remove stems. (E)

    Chop stems.

    Step eight

    Take a knife and cut the scallops into chunks directly in the baking dish. Add the chopped mushroom stems to the scallop mixture and stir until combined.

    Step nine

    Stuff each mushroom cap with the scallop breadcrumb mixture, making sure it is heaped. (F)

    Mushrooms cleaned and the stems chopped. And the scallop mixture stuffed in them

    Step ten

    Drizzle olive oil over the mushrooms and bake for 20 minutes.

    Once the scalloped stuffed mushrooms are done cooking, I place them on a serving platter and gather my chicken wings, because Christopher and I are having appetizers for dinner.

    Notes

    Tips for making Scallop Stuffed Mushrooms
    1. Use sea scallops, but if you must use bay scallops, reduce the time to 5 minutes when you add the butter and put them back in the oven (so a total of 15 minutes)
    2. Use good sized mushrooms, but not too big
    3. I like using  a combination of baby Portobello mushrooms as well as white mushroom
    4. I clean the mushrooms with a paper towel, making sure I get all the dirt off. I never use water as it makes the mushrooms slimy
    5. You can let the scallops cool after you take the stuffing mix out of the oven, but I don’t, I just cut up the scallops in the baking dish
    6. You will probably have left over scallop stuffing mix. I spread it on a piece of toast.  You must too
    7. You can freeze the scallop stuffing mix, if you don’t want to eat it

      Hello, l made the recipe to the “T”. Except l used big portabellas and the last few min l added mozzarella, a sprinkling of panko , parmaesan and Romano cheese. Then a few min under the broiler for toastiness
      It was wonderfully tasty but the scallops were waaay over done. A total of 40 minutes made them chewy. These baby’s will be great on the BBQ picking up a bit of smoke or maybe use some smoked Gouda.
      Next batch l am going to add some shallots, minced celery and a pinch of Old Bay.i
      I think the first 10 min should be without the scallops,make the dry stuffing with the bread crumbs ,herbs and spices. Chop your scallops and mix than add to the mushrooms and cook 20 min or till done
      Four stars for flavor!

        John, thanks for your comment. Did you use Sea scallops? I leave the scallops whole until I chop them getting ready to stuff the mushrooms. I’m surprised yours were rubbery. I’ve been making it like this for years. Not that I don’t believe you, but they always come out perfect. Btw, the addition of shallots, celery and Old Bay in the next batch sounds yummy.

        Yes Arlene you can. They reheat perfectly. I heat them for 8 – 10 minutes on 350 and the moistness of the stuffing and mushrooms keeps the scallops from getting rubbery. But I do prefer to eat them right away.

        I’ve never done it that way, Candy. I’m not a fan of warm artichoke but that’s a personal preference. Just use a small amount of cream cheese as I think that may be overpowering. Let me know how it goes!
