Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (204°C). Toss 1 dozen cleaned stone crab claws with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp kosher salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to coat evenly.
Step 2: Place the crab claws on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until heated through and grill marks appear, turning carefully to avoid breaking the shells.
Step 3: While the crab claws grill, prepare the mustard cocktail sauce by mixing 2 tbsp prepared horseradish, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1/4 cup ketchup, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, and a few dashes of hot sauce in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 4: Remove the crab claws from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with the mustard cocktail sauce on the side for dipping.
