- 2 cups fresh corn kernels (cut from about 2 large ears of corn) or 10 ounces frozen corn kernels, thawed Add to list
- 1 cup clam juice, warmed Add to list
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter Add to list

Preparation
If you are using fresh corn, fill a small saucepan with salted water and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, fill a medium bowl with ice water. When the water is boiling, add the corn. Cook until it is barely cooked through but still tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer the corn to a colander, drain, and then plunge it into the ice bath. When cool, drain through a colander.
