Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Carefully remove the stems and hollow out the caps slightly using a spoon to make space for the stuffing. Set the caps aside.
Chop the mushroom stems finely and set them aside for the filling.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped mushroom stems, cooking for 2-3 minutes until softened. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, lump crab meat, cream cheese, cooked mushroom stems and garlic, green onion, parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated.
Spoon the seafood mixture into the hollowed mushroom caps, filling them generously.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the stuffed mushroom caps.
Drizzle the mushrooms with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to help with browning.
Place the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the mushrooms are tender.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and garnish with additional fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
