Steps

1Prepare the mignonette by combining the finely minced shallot, red wine vinegar, and freshly cracked black pepper in a small bowl; stir well and set aside.
2Carefully shuck the fresh oysters, detaching the meat from the shell and retaining their natural liquor.
3Arrange the shucked oysters on a bed of ice on a serving platter to keep them chilled.
4Serve the oysters immediately with a small spoon of the classic mignonette and lemon wedges on the side.
