Method

For the mignonette, mix the shallots, vinegars, sugar, salt and peppercorns in a bowl. Cover with cling film and set aside for at least 4 hours ahead of time, but preferably for a day or two, which allows the flavours to blend and the shallots to mellow.

Just before serving, give the mignonette a good stir and divide into 8 small serving dishes. Pile the shucked oysters on to a platter that has been lined with crushed ice and seaweed.

For the Bloody Mary oyster shooters, put the vodka into a cocktail shaker half filled with ice and add the tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, lime juice and salt & pepper. Shake vigorously until well combined.

As you serve, give the Bloody Mary mix another good shake and pour into eight small shot glasses. Add an oyster into each one and garnish with the celery sticks.
