Recipe by Chef Kate

Imagine you are on the coast of Normandy. You are sitting at a small table in a small cafe facing the docks. You pick up an oyster, sprinkle it with the shallot sauce and you pop it in your mouth--Heaven! The slightly briny, slightly coppery taste of those wonderful oysters offset perfectly by the sprinkling of vinaigrette.
