1 lb crabmeat
8 ounces cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup bell pepper, chopped finely (yellow or red if available)
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning (I use more)

1 teaspoon celery, minced
2 drops Tabasco sauce (optional)
2 (21 ounce) miniature phyllo cups (prefer Athens-15 shells each box)

Mix together ingredients *except crab meat* to make a thick mixture.
Carefully fold crab meat into mixture either with a your hands, or a spatula, just until mixed. Do not over mix.
Over fill each mini phyllo shell with the crab meat, (about 1 tablespoon per shell).
Sprinkle lightly with paprika, for decoration.
