I have used crab in a can also tiny srimp from can and lobster meat all mixed together add a touch more old bay seasoning and garlic . I also use a deep dish baking dish then add half of stick of cubed butter on top of mushrooms so when it melts they stay moist and juicy . I also put a whole package of provolone cheese with Mozzeralla cheese on top covering dish until the last 10 min so they can brown some on top . They taste just like red lobster .

What is the 1/2 cup of water for?

Water just binds the stuffing until it is baked, and keeps the mushroom from drying out.

Before you top with cheese, cover all mushrooms with scampi butter (same butter you use to make shrimp scampi...melted butter, little garlic, parsley, little white wine)...be generous with the melted scampi butter, then top with cheese, then bake...that's why they are so buttery when you get them at the restaurant!!! And it's NOT the same if you use plain melted butter vs scampi butter....trust me..I have eaten and loved these specific mushrooms for years, since I worked there over 20 years ago! Learned to make back then and still do today I think even though I know how to make them, I will DIE if they ever take off menu/change recipe! Lol! It's also good to stuff fish with, same thing, using scampi butter and same stuffing mixture!
