Preparation

Prepare the Mignonette Sauce
In a small bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, finely chopped shallots, parsley, thyme, and freshly cracked black pepper. Mix well and let it sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Shuck the Oysters
Using an oyster knife, carefully shuck each oyster by inserting the knife into the hinge and twisting to open. Remove the top shell and discard it, keeping the oyster and its liquor in the bottom shell.
