Take great care when shucking an oyster since the knife can slip all too easily. For safety’s sake, wrap your knife-free hand in a thick kitchen towel to protect it.
Ingredients
- 24 oysters in their shells
- crushed ice
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- 1 large or 2 small shallots, very finely chopped
How to Make It
- To prepare the oysters, discard any that have opened and do not close immediately when tapped on the work surface. Use an oyster knife, and hold the oysters over a bowl as you open them. Carefully shuck the oysters one by one, catching any liquid in the bowl and transferring the opened oysters in their shells and their liquid to the refrigerator as you go.
- Arrange the oysters on an oyster plate with ice, or pack 4 serving dishes with lots of crushed ice and place the oysters on top.
- Mix the vinegar and shallots together and put into a small dish. Place in the center of the oysters—or the middle of the table—and serve.
