Mignonette sauce will elevate your oysters—this classic blend of minced shallots, black pepper, and red wine vinegar is a simple yet elegant condiment that brings a tangy, savory burst of flavor to each briny bite. The recipe makes enough for 2 dozen oysters, or combine the leftover sauce with olive oil to make a simple vinaigrette.
Ingredients
- 0.25 cups red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons shallots
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 pinch sea salt , optional
Instructions
-
1
In a small bowl, combine red wine vinegar and minced shallot; stir in black pepper and salt.
-
2
Let the mixture sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop. Top each oyster with about 1/2 teaspoon sauce immediately before serving.

You'll absolutely love this crawfish salad, like tuna salad with a sweeter, spicy twist. I use pre-cooked tails sold in a vacuum-sealed bag. Serve with fresh lettuce or toasted baguettes.
