Extra virgin olive oil as needed
2 tablespoons chopped shallot or onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic

2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears corn)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • Put 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; a minute later, add shallot or onion and garlic; cook for a minute, stirring occasionally, until soft. Add thyme and corn and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, until corn begins to brown and tastes cooked; season with salt and pepper.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't turn out as good as the one in the picture. I think I might have overcooked the lobster.

The salad was good, but I found the dressing to be a bit bland. I added some extra lemon juice and salt and it was much better.
