1
Prepare the Mignonette
In a small bowl, combine the finely diced cucumber, minced shallots, red wine vinegar, and freshly cracked black pepper. Mix well and let sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
2
Prepare the Oysters
Carefully shuck the oysters, retaining their juices in the shell. Place the opened oysters on a bed of crushed ice on a serving platter.
3
Serve
Spoon a small amount of the cucumber-shallot mignonette over each oyster. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
