Preheat your broiler. Place two peeled avocado halves in a large bowl and mash them lightly with a fork. Add mayonnaise and lemon juice; mix until well blended. Stir in the crab, 3 tablespoons cilantro, chives, serrano pepper, capers and pepper. Spoon the mixture into the remaining eight peeled avocado halves. Editor's Tip: Peeling avocados can be a pain. I like to take a big spoon, get as close to the skin as possible and scoop out the half all in one go. It does take some practice, but you can use your first attempts in the filling if they aren't exactly right.
Transfer the avocado halves to a 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Sprinkle with cheese and paprika. Broil the filled avocado halves 4 to 5 inches from the heat until the cheese melts, three to five minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cilantro. Serve warm stuffed avocados with lemon wedges or squeeze the lemon wedges over the tops as a finishing touch.
