Cook for 45 minutes, strain, and set aside. This is your lobster stock. Mmmmm. In a Dutch oven over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Add the onion first and start to cook down. Once its translucent, add a hefty squirt of tomato paste. Stir it up and let it brown some. Go ahead and add the other aromatics and stir. Get everything incorporated and cooked for about 5 minutes.
