Just cook them in the shell and serve with a nice lemon butter sauce.

The recipe I use for when I go to the movies is like the 3rd or 4th one when you google it. It's not hard.

Stone crab claws are good steamed and chilled, or served hot from the steamer (sauteed? naw, they can get overcooked due to the extra thick shells), and then served with the Joe's famous stone crab dipping sauce. I suppose you can do them up with butter and lemon wedges, but since they're so naturally mild buttery and lend themselves well to the Joe's piquant creamy dip, which tastes best made ahead. Use Duke's mayo without the sugar, cream is the only sweetness.

My favorite thing to do with those is to steam them first, then crack the shells with a mallet or the back of a knife. Then stir-fry them with garlic, douchi (chinese fermented black beans), a big fistfull of dried red chilies, and a bunch of garlic chives (or green onions if you can't find those).
