Low Carb Cucumber Lime Mignonette. This low carb Cucumber Lime Mignonette is good with pretty much any seafood. If you like raw oysters, and I do, it is perfect doused on them. The second time I made it, and when I was sure I liked the balance, I did it with a flash-fried calamari steak, hence the picture. I know it’s good on shrimp but I didn’t take pictures so the next time….and now done. I most often do not eat oysters at home as they are such a treat on the rare occasion that I eat out, but I will now buy some soon, just to pig out on them. I have had some really good mignonettes and I have also had some pretty tasteless ones so you will have to decide which you think this is. There’s a Bonus: It also makes a fabulous salad dressing with the addition of olive oil. You can’t see much of it but you sure will taste it.
