Ideal for a date night or special occasion, fresh oysters are served with a simple but delicious vinaigrette.
Oysters with Red Wine Vinaigrette is one of those dishes my husband and I would always order when we were out. However, if I’d known it was as easy as visiting my fish shop and mixing a few ingredients together, I would have started making it at home much sooner! The key is to ensure your oysters are as fresh as possible, and have your fishmonger shuck them for you if you are not comfortable doing it yourself. We love enjoying this dish on a date night in. This recipe traditionally calls for French shallots, but I use red onion, which is more intense in flavour and much more accessible.
Can you make Oysters with Red Wine Vinaigrette ahead of time?
Prepare the dressing and refrigerate it up to 2 days before serving.
