Yield Makes about 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 3

Reserved solids from crab bisque
4 sticks (1 pound) unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon paprika (not hot)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in lowest position.
  • Put reserved crab solids in a 3-quart ovenproof heavy pot. Put butter on top of solids, then cover and cook in oven 1 hour.
  • Remove pot from oven and add enough cold water to reach 1/4 inch below rim of pot. Let stand, uncovered, about 10 minutes to allow melted butter to rise to surface of water.
  • Skim melted butter with a large spoon or ladle into a 1-quart saucepan, then boil until butter stops crackling (when all water has been boiled out) and turns clear, about 15 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl. Stir in paprika.
