Recipe ingredients

  • 2 dozen oysters
  • 1 chopped shallot
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) Irresistibles red wine vinegar*

Preparation

Scrub oysters with a brush under cold running water (do not soak).
Shuck oysters with an oyster knife, cutting the muscle to remove the top shell.
Leave oysters in their shells.
In a bowl, combine shallot with red wine vinegar and water to make dressing.
Arrange opened oysters on a platter of crushed ice.
Spoon 1 tsp. (5 mL) of dressing onto each oyster.

Suggestion

Do not open oysters more than three hours before consumption. Ideally, they should be opened 15 minutes ahead of time and served over ice on a large oval platter.
