1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions or chives

Beat or mash potato pulp with butter, cream, salt and pepper until smooth. Using a fork, stir in onions or chives and cheese. Gently mix in crab. Stuff shells. Sprinkle with paprika. Return to the oven for 15 minutes or until heated through.
