Instructions

Step 1 Prepare the stuffing
Mix the cream cheese, sour cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until smooth. Fold in the Alaska crab meat and scallions.
-
Step 2 Prepare the avocados
Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Use a spoon to scoop some of the flesh out of the avocados, leaving a larger cavity for stuffing.
-
Step 3 Fill avocados and broil
Position your oven rack about 8 inches below the heating element and set to broil. Divide the crab mixture between the avocados and top with the shredded cheese. Place on a baking sheet and broil for 2-5 minutes, checking frequently, or until the cheese is melted and beginning to brown. Top with extra scallions if desired and serve hot.
