Preparation

Step 1

Put 1 cup of ice in each of 4 large, shallow, rimmed soup bowls, or small, decorative trays and press down gently to make a level bed. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the kosher salt over each bowl of ice. Place 6 oysters in their shells on each bed.

Spoon an equal amount of Mignonette Sauce (see separate recipe) over each, or place in small decorative ramekins and serve on the side.
