Oysters

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oysters

    Carefully scrub the oyster shells under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Use a sturdy knife to pry open the oysters, discarding the top shell and leaving the oyster in the bottom shell.

  2. 2

    Arrange on Ice

    Place a layer of ice in a serving dish. Arrange the opened oysters on the ice to keep them chilled.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Mignonette Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine the mignonette sauce with finely chopped parsley. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the oysters. Spoon a small amount of the mignonette sauce over each oyster. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
