Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add in the lump crab meat, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, hot sauce, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, and green onions. Stir gently to combine, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
Transfer the mixture into a medium-sized, oven-safe baking dish. Spread it out evenly.
In a separate bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the paprika. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the crab dip.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and golden brown on top.
Carefully remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with crackers, baguette slices, or fresh vegetable sticks.
