We prefer eating oysters plain or with a squeeze of lemon with Tabasco and horseradish, it's impossible to ignore the allure of a perfect mignonette.
NOTE: Store fresh oysters in the refrigerator, cupped side down, on a plate covered with a damp towel.

- In a serving bowl, stir together the shallots and vinegar. Refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 2 days.
- Shuck the oysters immediately before serving, and serve the mignonette, dusted with pepper to taste, in a small bowl alongside the oysters, along with a bowl of the lemon wedges, mound of grated horseradish and a bottle of Tabasco.
