I'm not a huge fan of oysters, but I tried this recipe and I was pleasantly surprised. The mignonette sauce really made a difference. It balanced out the briny flavor of the oysters.

I love how easy this recipe is to make. The hardest part is shucking the oysters, but it's worth it. The mignonette sauce is my favorite, but the other two are also very good.

I tried this recipe last weekend and it was a hit! The oysters were plump and juicy, and the sauces were all delicious. I especially loved the mignonette sauce. It was the perfect complement to the briny oysters.
