Preparing the Oysters

Shucking the Oysters

In a small bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, finely chopped shallots, and freshly cracked black pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Chill the Sauce

Cover the bowl and let the mignonette sauce chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
