Oysters

Method
Preparation of Oysters
Clean the oysters
Using a brush, scrub the outer shell of each oyster under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris.
Shuck the oysters
Using an oyster knife, carefully insert the blade into the hinge of each oyster and twist to open. Slide the knife along the top shell to cut the muscle, then remove the top shell and carefully detach the oyster from the bottom shell, keeping it in its liquor.
Mignonette Sauce Preparation
Mix the mignonette sauce
In a small bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, finely chopped shallots, and crushed black peppercorns. Stir well and let sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serving
Prepare the serving platter
Fill a shallow dish with ice to create a bed for the oysters. Arrange the shucked oysters on top of the ice to keep them chilled.
