Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Using a spoon, generously fill each mushroom cap with the crab mixture, piling it up. Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet.
- Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese and parsley over the stuffed mushrooms.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender, and the tops are golden brown.
- Once they're done, remove the mushrooms from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
