Stuffed mushrooms have always been one of my favorite appetizers, but most recipes use gluten-filled breadcrumbs and lots of dairy. Delicious, but not compatible with a paleo eating template. Crab cakes are another favorite of mine but the paleo-versions of them just don’t hold together very well. And if  you try to make them without an egg to be paleo autoimmune protocol (AIP) friendly, they really fall to pieces.

So I decided to marry the stuffed mushroom and the crab cake to create a paleo appetizer that would only require a very minor modification to be AIP friendly (omitting the Old Bay Seasoning).
