You can use a marinated mushroom base or just a standard raw white mushroom. Both work beautifully. I like the tenderness of the marinated mushroom, but unless you start with really big one, they shrink down quite a bit. (Also, fresh is less work \u2013 just saying).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Wine Pairing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted has-medium-font-size\">Original Pairing: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.totalwine.com\/wine\/white-wine\/sauvignon-blanc\/chateau-ste-michelle-sauvignon-blanc-horse-heaven-vineyard\/p\/12033750?srsltid=AfmBOopNGBa8FBAqoMtbcezT98T-rIxQakoRF7SoLx5XovvFXvs4ARsz\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.totalwine.com\/wine\/white-wine\/sauvignon-blanc\/chateau-ste-michelle-sauvignon-blanc-horse-heaven-vineyard\/p\/12033750?srsltid=AfmBOopNGBa8FBAqoMtbcezT98T-rIxQakoRF7SoLx5XovvFXvs4ARsz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chateau Ste Michelle Horse Heaven Hills Sauvignon Blanc 2021<\/a><br><br>General Pairing: Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Dry Prosecco.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Special Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Crab Meat<br><\/strong>splurging on fresh crab meat (from deli or fish monger) will make this dish far superior to anything canned. Always make sure to go through the meat to remove potential shell bits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Mushrooms<\/strong><br> To get a good serving of crab salad, you will need fairly large white mushrooms. If marinating, there is a 3-minute poaching process that will greatly shrink them. White mushrooms have a more delicate flavor so to not overwhelm the crab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Equipment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Large pot<\/strong>: If you decide to marinate the mushrooms, a large cooking pot is best when making over 20 mushrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Food storage containers or bags<\/strong>: Have some large food cotainers or zip up storage bags for marinating the mushrooms as well as for the crab salad process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Sieve<\/strong>: I find a fine-mesh sieve works best to help drain the crab meat from extra juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Planning the Dish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This is a dish that is not hard to make, but timing for optimum freshness is important. Crab is best when it is as fresh as possible. I ordered the crab meat to be ready for pick up the day before the event. You don\u2019t want to hold onto crab much longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Timing Elements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>2+ days prior<\/strong>: Order crab meat from deli\/fishmonger to be ready day prior to event<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Day before<\/strong>: prep crab meat, make crab salad, Keep refrigerated. Marinade mushrooms and refrigerate overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>2 hour to serve<\/strong>: Drain marinated mushrooms<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>1 hour to serve<\/strong>: Assemble crab into mushrooms. Lightly cover and refridgerate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Serve<\/strong>: Add forks picks (if using) and garnish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" id=\"plating-tips\">Plating Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">These crab salad mushrooms look great on a tray all lined up. Garish using a small, delicate frond of dill on each to provide a pop of color. You could use any green herb such as bits of parsley or chives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The marinated mushrooms tend to be a bit slippery, so I served these with cocktail forks already through the center and small plates on the side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/supplies\/\" type=\"page\" id=\"3474\">(see Wares section for plating supplies &amp; ideas)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" id=\"pairing-alterations\">Pairing Alterations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Crab or \u201cKrab\u201d<br><\/strong>I have tried using fake \u201ckrab\u201d in lieu of the high priced real-deal. I don\u2019t mind it, but the flavor isn\u2019t anywhere near as strong. It is milder and has more sweetness to it. This may be a preference if you wine is on the sweeter side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Horseradish Power<\/strong><br>I have this with a hint of horseradish, as our standard guests don\u2019t like the food to be too spicy. However, if was just for me I would double the horseradish or get some strong wasabi. With a crisp and chilled white to offset the power punch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" id=\"recipe-start\">Recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-6537\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"6537\" data-servings=\"60\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-template-better-chic\"><div class=\"wprm-container-float-right\">\n    <div class=\"wprm-recipe-image wprm-block-image-rounded\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 250px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 250\/166;border-width: 0px;border-style: solid;border-color: #666666;border-radius: 3px;\" width=\"250\" height=\"166\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/crab-mush-800x530-1.jpg?fit=250%2C166&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-250x250 size-250x250 lazyload\" alt=\"Crab Salad Mushrooms recipe\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/crab-mush-800x530-1.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/crab-mush-800x530-1.jpg?resize=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/crab-mush-800x530-1.jpg?resize=768%2C509&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/crab-mush-800x530-1.jpg?resize=780%2C517&amp;ssl=1 780w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/crab-mush-800x530-1.jpg?resize=600%2C398&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/crab-mush-800x530-1.jpg?resize=550%2C364&amp;ssl=1 550w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/crab-mush-800x530-1.jpg?resize=370%2C245&amp;ssl=1 370w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/crab-mush-800x530-1.jpg?resize=255%2C169&amp;ssl=1 255w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wprm-recipe-name wprm-block-text-bold\">Crab Salad Mushrooms<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-summary wprm-block-text-normal\"><span style=\"display: block;\">Lump meat crab salad atop a tender mushroom infused with lemon and herbs.
