1
Prepare the Mignonette
In a small bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, finely chopped shallot, and freshly cracked black pepper. Stir well and let sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
2
Prepare the Oysters
If serving raw, carefully shuck the oysters and place them on a bed of crushed ice. If char-grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
3
Char-Grill Option
For char-grilled oysters, place the shucked oysters directly on the grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes until the edges start to curl. Remove from the grill.
4
Serve
Serve the oysters raw on ice or char-grilled, with the mignonette sauce on the side. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
