Preparation

Step 1

* Note: The meat of Florida stone crabs -- found in the claws -- is firm and sweet with a nice briny flavor. It's delicious in a chilled seafood salad. The crab claws are usually sold cooked and found in the frozen section in seafood markets.

Crack crab claws and remove crab meat. Cut shrimp into 1-inch pieces and toss with crabmeat in bowl. Set aside.

Combine mayonnaise, mustard, garlic and capers in bowl. Whisk in oil and lemon juice. Stir in chives. Pour dressing over seafood and toss. Cover and chill 30 minutes for flavors to blend.

To serve, spoon 1/2 cup seafood onto bed of cilantro leaves. Sprinkle with pepper.
