2 TABLESPOONSSALTED BUTTER

2 tablespoonsfish sauce

1 BUNCHSCALLIONS

Instructions
Step 1
In a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high, heat the oil until barely smoking. Add the corn and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to char, 6 to 7 minutes.
Step 2
Add the shrimp, chilies and butter, then cook, stirring, until the shrimp are heated through and the butter is melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Off heat, stir in the fish sauce, scallions and lime juice. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Don’t forget to thaw and pat dry the corn if using frozen. Removing excess moisture reduces splatter and also helps ensure the kernels char instead of steam when they hit the hot skillet.
