Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

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

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Do ahead: Butter sauce can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
  • Preheat barbecue (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. Try it (1) mixed with garlic and cilantro as a marinade for grilled chicken; (2) in barbecue sauce for ribs; (3) in a salad of slivered green apples and chopped cilantro; and (4) in a compound butter with cayenne and shallots for grilled fish. It is available in the Asian foods section of many supermarkets and at Asian markets.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried onion flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 medium ears of corn, silk and husks removed
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the first seven ingredients.
  • Spread over corn; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  • Wrap each ear of corn in a double thickness of heavy-duty foil.
  • Grill, covered, over medium heat for 30-35 minutes or until corn is tender, turning occasionally.

Tips:

  • Choose the right corn. Look for ears with tightly packed kernels and fresh, green husks. Avoid ears with dry or damaged husks, or kernels that are brown or shriveled.
  • Prepare the corn. Peel back the husks and remove the silk. Rinse the ears under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Soak the corn. Soaking the corn in water for 30 minutes before grilling will help to prevent the kernels from drying out.
  • Season the corn. Brush the corn with olive oil or melted butter, and sprinkle with your favorite seasonings. Popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder.
  • Grill the corn. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the corn for 10-15 minutes, turning every few minutes to ensure even cooking.
  • Serve the corn. Grilled corn can be served immediately, or wrapped in aluminum foil and kept warm for up to 30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Grilled corn is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed all summer long. With its smoky flavor and tender kernels, grilled corn is a perfect addition to any backyard barbecue or picnic. Whether you like it simple or loaded with toppings, grilled corn is a surefire crowd-pleaser.
