Ingredients

3 tablespoons fish sauce, such as nam pla or nuoc nam *(see below)

2 tablespoons water

1 1/2 tablespoons (packed) golden brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus additional for brushing corn

1 tablespoon thinly sliced green onions, white part only (from about 3)

6 ears of corn, husked (**can use thawed frozen corn on the cob - see RoseJ's comments below)

Directions

Stir first 4 ingredients in small bowl until sugar dissolves. Melt butter with 2 tablespoons oil in small saucepan over medium heat. Add fish sauce mixture and green onions and simmer until sauce begins to thicken, about 2 minutes.

NOTE: Butter sauce can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.

****

Preheat grill (medium-high heat).

Brush corn with oil.

Grill corn until tender and charred in spots, about 13 minutes.

Brush corn generously with butter sauce and serve, passing remaining sauce separately.

*Fish sauce is a versatile ingredient. It is available in the Asian foods section of many supermarkets and at Asian markets.

Can't wait to get some fresh silver queen to try this out. Kind of reminds of the line from Jerry McGuire... You had me at.... the fish sauce.

This sounds amazing! I love grilled corn! I suppose I can use thawed frozen corn?!

Hey baby. Bring the corn, I'll bring the drinks and we'll go over to ChefCat's and eat those ribs.

I hope I remember this recipe when corn season rolls around again. It sounds fabulous. Isn't it amazing what can be done with fish sauce.

I made this with frozen corn on the cob and it was amazing! I, first, thawed the corn, then basted it with the oil and grilled. This will now be a regular on my menu. I very seldom use frozen corn on the cob, but love corn so much. This makes grilled frozen corn a treat!
