1 pound large fresh mushrooms
4 tablespoons butter, divided
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup shredded fresh, canned or imitation crabmeat

Finely chop mushroom stems and remaining 1/4 pound whole mushrooms.
In a large skillet, melt 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add chopped mushrooms and cook 4 to 5 minutes, or until tender.
Remove from heat and add 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs, the shredded crab, onion powder, salt and pepper; mix well.
Using a teaspoon, stuff mushroom caps with stuffing mixture. Place on an ungreased rimmed baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine remaining 2 tablespoons panko bread crumbs and 1 tablespoon melted butter; sprinkle evenly over tops of mushroom caps and bake 15 to 18 minutes, or until heated through.
