Oysters and Sauces

Method

Preparation and Serving

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mignonette Sauce

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

  2. 2

    Shuck the Oysters

    Carefully shuck the fresh oysters, discarding the top shell. Place the oysters on a serving platter with the deeper shell side down to hold the liquid.

  3. 3

    Serve the Oysters

    Arrange the shucked oysters on ice or a chilled platter. Serve with mignonette sauce, cocktail sauce, and prepared horseradish on the side.
