Raw Oysters Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Mignonette

   In a small bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, chopped shallots, and black pepper. Stir well and let it sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

2. 2

   Shuck the Oysters

   Using an oyster knife, carefully shuck each oyster, discarding the top shell. Place the oysters on a serving platter, ensuring they remain in their bottom shells.

3. 3

   Serve

   Arrange the east and west coast oysters on ice or a platter. Serve with the mignonette and lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the oysters.
