1
Prepare the Cocktail Sauce
In a mixing bowl, combine the ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Stir well to blend and adjust seasoning to taste.
2
Make the Mignonette
In a separate bowl, mix the red wine vinegar, minced shallots, and black pepper. Allow it to sit for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
3
Serve the Oysters
Arrange the fresh oysters on a bed of crushed ice. Serve with the prepared cocktail sauce and mignonette on the side.
