Ingredients
- 3 pounds stone crab claws
- 1 lime
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1 clove garlic - minced 
 
These stone crab claws are even more tasty when served with garlic dipping butter.
 
Directions

  • Bring water to a boil in a steamer pot and then place the crab claws in the steamer
    basket.
  • Allow them to steam for about 6 or 9 minutes. Do not overcook because it could cause the meat
    to stick to the shell, making it hard to remove the meat from the claws.

  • When cooking, you are basically just heating up the crab claws because they are generally
    precooked when you buy them. After 9 or 10 minutes remove the stone crab from the steamer, crack
    the claws open and serve immediately.

  • Sprinkle lightly with lime juice and serve with melted garlic butter (see below) for

dipping.
  • Garlic Butter: Blend the minced garlic in with the softened butter using a fork. Melt the
    blended butter before serving.
