how to cook socal shore crab?

Okay, so i go to the beach every friday or watever and my gf and i enjoy catching the little crabs that live on the rocks. Most of the time we get about 10 or more (yeah hahaha more) of these guys and bring them home.

my question is, are there any special recipes for cooking these little crabs? theyre the small black crabs with slight red claws. they look like this

i dont think you can eat those kind of crab. besides they are as small as a quarter why would you wanna eat something as small as that? they dont even look eatable.
