Oysters

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mignonette

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

  2. 2

    Shuck the Oysters

    Using an oyster knife, carefully shuck the oysters, discarding the top shell and retaining the oyster and its liquor in the bottom shell.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Arrange the oysters on a platter with crushed ice. Serve with the mignonette sauce on the side.
