I'm usually the person who prefers sweet corn simply steamed, without butter or salt, to better taste the corn flavor. However, after reading a recipe for cooking corn kernels and scallions in a magazine, I was intrigued. I keep finding myself turning to this dish, or a variation of it, whenever I have a group for dinner. I find the caramelized flavor irresistible The recipe is easily multiplied, and is extremely forgiving -- simply adapt it as you like! It is great alongside almost any grilled item: meaty fish (or scallops), chicken sausage, flank steak, etc., especially when complemented by a few sliced farm-fresh tomatoes. This dish is also very adaptable. If you really hate shiitake mushrooms, just leave them out. If you really love lime juice, add a squeeze. If you feel compelled to add extra bling, throw in some chopped herbs. Have fun with it!
