Method
Cold Seafood
Chill and arrange oysters
Arrange a bed of crushed ice on a platter. Place the 12 shucked oysters on the half shells onto the ice to keep them very cold.
Prepare lemon and garnishes
Arrange the 4 lemon wedges around the oysters for extra brightness and optional squeezing at the table.
Make mignonette
In a small bowl, whisk together the finely minced shallots, red wine vinegar, freshly ground black pepper, chopped dill, and sea salt until well combined. Taste and adjust pepper or salt if needed.
Top oysters with mignonette
Using a small spoon, place a tiny amount of the prepared mignonette on each oyster; avoid over-saucing. Reserve any extra sauce for dipping on the side.
