Mix green onions, celery, garlic, shrimp, crabmeat, breadcrumbs, and slat and pepper to taste. Add enough oil to moisten and stuff ¼ of mixture into each flounder. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Place flounders individually in aluminum foil, slit side up. Rub skin with paprika, salt, and pepper. Wrap securely and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes; open foil and brown 15 minutes longer. Serve with lemon butter sauce. From "Pirate's Pantry" formatted by Mary Dishongh Bowles.
