Bring a pot of water to boil. Place crab claws in a strainer and lower it into the boiling water. If crab claws are precooked, allow them to heat through for 1 to 2 minutes. If crab claws are raw, allow them to cook until shells turned red. Depending on the size, it should take between 2 to 5 minutes.
When crab claws are cooked, lift strainer from boiling water and allow it to drain. Arrange crab claws to one side on a large platter.
