Ingredients
    1/2 cup deli-style cream cheese
    1/2 cup frozen lump crabmeat, defrosted and well drained
    1/2 cup chopped cooked baby cocktail shrimp
    1/4 cup chopped almonds
    1/4 cup butter
    1 teaspoon garlic, chopped
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
    1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
    1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
    salt
    1/2 cup fresh breadcrumb
    24 medium mushroom caps
    1 cup melted butter
    2 tablespoons lemon juice
    1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
    2 tablespoons parsley
    salt & freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 400\u00b0.
    Combine together cream cheese, crab, shrimp, almonds, butter, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, and hot pepper sauce in a bowl. Season to taste and stir in breadcrumbs.
    Remove stems from mushrooms and cut a sliver-thin slice from the top rounded side, so that they will stand upright securely. Fill each cap with 1 to 2 tbsp crab/shrimp mixture. Place in 4 individual baking dishes.
    Combine butter, lemon juice, lemon rind and parsley and season well. Drizzle 1/4 cup of butter mixture over each dish of mushrooms .
    Make for 12 to 15 minutes, or until caps are cooked. Garnish each dish with parsley sprigs and a twist of lemon.
