Start by measuring 3 cups of long grain rice and set it aside.

In a pot, combine the rice with 6 cups of water and bring it to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.

In a large skillet, heat 1/2 stick of butter and a little olive oil over medium heat.

Add 1 cup of chopped onions, 1 chopped green onion, and 2 chopped bell peppers to the skillet.

Sauté the vegetables until they are softened.

Add 1 teaspoon of paprika and mix it into the vegetables.

Cut the crab meat into bite-sized pieces and add it to the sautéed vegetables.

Once the vegetables are soft, add the crab meat and mix well.

Check the rice; if it is done, add it to the skillet with the crab and vegetables.

Mix everything together thoroughly and taste for seasoning, adding salt and black pepper as needed.

Add 4 tablespoons of hot sauce and mix again.

If desired, add more butter for flavor and mix well before serving.
