Butter-Braised Corn With Dried Shrimp
- 10 (small) dried shrimp
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 scallions, white and green parts thinly sliced separately
- 1 red Thai chile, thinly sliced
- 6 ears of corn, shucked, kernels cut off the cobs
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons Asian fish sauce, preferably nuoc mam, (See Note)
- Salt
- Put the dried shrimp in a bowl and cover with hot water. Let stand for 30 minutes. Drain and finely chop the shrimp.
- In a large skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter. Add the shrimp, scallion whites and sliced chile and cook over moderate heat until the scallion is softened, about 2 minutes. Add the corn kernels and stir well. Add the sugar and fish sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and the scallion greens, season with salt and serve.
