Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, green onions, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in a microwave-safe bowl.
Take one sheet of phyllo dough, and lightly brush it with melted butter using a pastry brush.
Place another sheet on top of the buttered phyllo dough and brush it with butter as well. Repeat this process until you have 5 sheets stacked.
Cut the stacked phyllo dough into squares, approximately 4x4 inches.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture in the center of each phyllo square.
Bring the corners of the phyllo square towards the center, pinching them together to form a small bundle or puff.
Repeat steps 4 through 8 for the remaining phyllo sheets and crab mixture.
Place the crab puffs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the tops of the puffs with any remaining butter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the puffs are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the puffs from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
