What is Nantua sauce?

Nantua sauce is a kind of sauce that comes from French cuisine, which has crayfish as a primary component.

However, as soon as the mixture of crayfish and butter is combined, they slowly melt and then tense the cloth. When the mixture is tense, the resulting butter is collected in a bowl of icy water. This causes the butter stiffening can be collected. After becoming strong enough to remove it from the water, it should be patted dry.
