Steamed Stone Crab Claws with Creamy Orange-Chile Sauce

Sweet, succulent stone crab makes a luxurious appetizer and pairs wonderfully with this easy dipping sauce. We suggest steaming the claws in this recipe, but if yours are precooked (most are sold that way), you can skip this step and serve them chilled.
