Place the crab in a large pot. Add some water. Cover and steam them for 8 - 10 minutes.
Use tongs to remove the crab from the pot. Rinse them under cool water to clean off any residue.

To make tamarind water, soak tamarind in boiling water for about 5 minutes, break apart each tamarind segment. Set aside until cool enough to handle. Strain the mixture to extract tamarind water.
To make tamarind sauce, mix tamarind water, fish sauce, and sugar in a bowl until well combined.
Simmer the sauce over high heat for 10 minutes until the sauce reduces slightly and thickens.
