- 118.32 ml butter, room temperature
- 157.80 ml minced shallot (about 3 ounces)

directions
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy small skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until brown, about 4 minutes. Cool. Combine remaining 6 tablespoons butter and thyme in small bowl. Add shallot mixture and blend well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Butter can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving.)
- Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush corn with olive oil. Grill corn away from direct heat until just cooked and beginning to brown in a few places, turning frequently, about 10 minutes. Alternatively, omit brushing corn with olive oil and cook in large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 6 minutes, drain. Serve corn with shallot-thyme butter.

We really enjoyed this. I baked the corn in the oven. I minced the shallots extremely small and it worked out great, and staying on the corn. -
I really liked this! I did this on the grill, and it was great. I used shallots this time, but think I might try green onions next time....although I like the mellow flavor of the shallots. Thanks for sharing this yummy recipe! -
This had and interesting flavor, the thyme seemed odd on corn at first, but the more we ate it the more we enjoyed it, I would definitely like to try it on steak. Made for 123 Hit Wonders Tag.

Such and easy tasty recipe. The only deviation was I used green onions. Perfect way to have corn on the cob. I will make this again, thanks for sharing. -
Awesome corn on the cob! So easy and delicious. My family loved it. Thanks for sharing.

I love cooking for family and friends. I especially enjoy baking...it is like combining art and science to create something extraordinary.
I am most known for making desserts like Recipe #336060. My pet peeve: when people sign-up to bring dessert to a pot-luck or dinner party and they bring something pre-made from the store. My friends and family now know to always let me bring the dessert. :)
I enjoy traveling and believe that one of the best ways to experience a culture is through food. I have lived in Germany, Spain and Switzerland, and currently live in the US.
My rating system:
5 stars - Excellent! Delicious! Could not be better...will make often.
4 stars - Very good! May tweak slightly.
3 stars - Good base recipe. Will need to tweak.
2 stars - Ok. Will keep looking.
