Add the flour, stirring to combine. Pour in heavy cream, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer and continue to cook until the cream has reduced and thickened, about 2-4 minutes. Add crabmeat, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Cook until heated through. Season with salt.
