Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Clean the Portobello mushroom caps by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and, using a spoon, carefully scrape out the gills to make room for the stuffing.
Brush the mushroom caps with 1 tablespoon of olive oil on both sides and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, gill-side up, and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the lump crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon zest, paprika, salt, and pepper. Gently fold the mixture until evenly combined, being careful not to break apart the crab meat too much.
Spoon the crab mixture evenly into each mushroom cap, mounding it slightly in the center.
Sprinkle the tops of the stuffed mushrooms with grated Parmesan cheese.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the stuffed mushroom caps.
Bake the mushrooms in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the filling is cooked through.
Remove the mushrooms from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as an appetizer, or pair with a side salad for a complete meal.
