Oysters and Shellfish
Oysters and Shellfish

Pairing: Oysters and Shellfish

Recipe

Ingredients

  • Fresh oysters (6-12 pieces): Briny and rich, they are the main feature, requiring little seasoning.
  • Lemon wedges: Adds a bright, acidic contrast to the oysters' richness.
  • Mignonette sauce (shallots, vinegar, and pepper): Offers a tangy complement to the oysters' natural flavor.
  • Clams or shrimp (for variety): Adds textural contrast when served alongside oysters

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oysters: Shuck the oysters, keeping them in their half shell. Arrange on a bed of ice and garnish with lemon wedges.
  2. Prepare the mignonette sauce: Finely mince shallots and mix with red wine vinegar and freshly ground pepper. Spoon a small amount over each oyster, if desired.
  3. Serve: Present with the mignonette sauce and lemon wedges on the side for a classic accompaniment. Serve immediately alongside clams or shrimp for variety
