Steps:
- Fill a large pot with about 1 inch of water and fit with a steamer basket; bring to a boil. Meanwhile, scoop out the seeds from the zucchini, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick shell. Season the zucchini with salt, then arrange in the steamer basket; cover and steam until crisp-tender, 5 minutes.
- Combine the crabmeat, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. In another bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, the Worcestershire sauce, cayenne and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Blot the zucchini dry with paper towels and brush with the remaining 1 tablespoon each olive oil and lemon juice. Fill with the crab mixture and top with the spicy mayonnaise. Sprinkle with paprika, celery leaves and scallions.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Slice the zucchini in half the long way, and scoop out the seeds and flesh, leaving a 1/2-inch thick shell all around. Discard flesh, or save for another use. Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil, and immerse the zucchini boats in the boiling water for 2 minutes. Remove from the water, drain, and place into a 9x12-inch baking dish. With a paper towel, blot away any excess water from the inside of the zucchini.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the onion, garlic, and green pepper until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Gently stir in the crabmeat, and cook about 5 more minutes, until the crabmeat is hot. Keep the crabmeat in lump pieces as much as possible. Season the crab mixture with paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Place the crab mixture into a mixing bowl, and lightly stir in bread crumbs, mayonnaise, and white wine. Add a bit more mayonnaise to help the mixture hold together, if needed. Spoon the filling into the prepared zucchini shells, and brush each zucchini with about 3/4 tablespoon of melted butter. Top each stuffed zucchini with 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese melts and the filling is hot, about 15 minutes.
