Crab Claws with Mustard Dipping Sauce

We enjoy the Florida Keys. Here, you'll find crab claws everywhere already cooked and ready to eat. All the restaurants serve them with a mustard dipping sauce, which we enjoy, but we decided to make our own Madness version that has a bit more flavor. We offer you this Madness version of a mustard dipping sauce, perfect for crab claws or as a dipper.
Ingredients
- 12 medium sized stone crab claws
- 1 orange Cubanelle pepper, diced
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh minced garlic
- 4 tablespoons spicy mustard
- 2 ounces heavy cream
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon chili powder or red pepper flakes (we used jalapeno powder)
Cooking Directions
- Heat a sauce pan to medium heat.
- Add olive oil with Cubanelle peppers.
- Cook about 5 minutes until peppers are softened.
- Add garlic and cook 1 more minute to brown.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Add remaining ingredients. Mix well.
- Transfer to a bowl and cover.
- Chill until ready to serve.
- Crack the claws with a wooden mallet. So the shells don't spray all over, wrap the claws first in a towl and lightly crack.
- Carefully remove the crab meat from the cracked shells and dip into sauce.
- Enjoy!
