Fish sauce lends a tantalizing Asian twist to the butter sauce here, and makes simple grilled corn into something altogether new. Enjoy. Recipe from the July 2006 Bon Appétit.

- 2 tablespoons water shopping list
- 1 1/2 tablespoons (packed) golden brown sugar shopping list

- 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter shopping list
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus additional for brushing corn shopping list

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.
