  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds steamed stone crab claws

FOR THE MUSTARD SAUCE

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons creamy-style horseradish
  • sea salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Get cooked stone crabs from a reputable market. Remember, quality is more important than size! Keep them cold until ready to serve.

Mustard sauce: Taste before adding salt. For a sweeter sauce, stir in a little sugar to taste.
Serving: Serve chilled with mustard sauce and lemon wedges. Melted butter is optional.
