    eatboutique's Notes: I feel so fortunate to live so close to all different sorts of local oysters - raw, fresh and salty, like the ocean from which they rose. This is my go-to mignonette when serving raw oysters...

Serves 2

  1. Gently stir all the ingredients (except the oysters) in a bowl at least 2 hours prior to serving but up to 1 day before. Chill the mixture until just before serving.

    Ask the hotline about this step!
  2. Shuck the oysters just before serving and present on a deep plate of crushed ice. Serve the mignonette alongside, with a small serving spoon. Spoon a little of the zippy sauce into each oyster just before slurping each down.

    Ask the hotline about this step!

My guess is there's going to be several mignonette's posted during this challenge, no? :)
