- 2 (6 ounce) cans crabmeat, drained and flaked
- 18 large fresh mushrooms, stems removed
- 1/4 cup cooking sherry
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook and stir the garlic in the butter until tender.
- In a medium bowl, mix garlic and butter, chili powder, 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, Italian-style breadcrumbs, salt and pepper. Increase the amount of mayonnaise, if desired. Fold in the crabmeat.
