Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

4 ears of fresh corn, kernels shaved from the cob (about 3 cups)

4 large shallots, cut into 1/4-inch slices

Pinch of sugar

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

2 tablespoons fresh thyme, leaves

Preparation

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the corn, shallots, sugar, and salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, until the corn is caramelized, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the thyme and cook 5 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
