I came across this and it's very easy and is way better than just thawing the corn in boiling water.  Not sure why I never thought to do something like this.  I just put some EVOO in the pan and mixed the corn around in it.  I also lined the pans with aluminum foil for ease of cleanup.

I've pan fried frozen corn before with really good results. I let it sit on the counter for about an hour to thaw out first, but after draining the excess moisture I threw it in a skillet with some corn oil and butter. I added some shredded red bell pepper and a smidgen of garlic. Salt and white pepper and in the bowl. Good stuff.

I think the idea with the recipe I posted is to mimic corn on the cob that's been roasted on a grill or something.  it is a reasonable approximation.

I can see how it could turn out that way.  It sounds pretty good.

yeah, that southwestern salad recipe I made in the avocado thread called for frozen corn that was just thawed.  but then I looked at the nice picture of the salad and noticed the corn looked like it was slightly charred.  so then I found the instructions above on broiling the frozen corn and here we are today.  it just happened to be pretty tasty on it's own so I figured I'd post it up since it was super easy to do and everyone always has frozen corn.

I've done this too. Frozen corn left out to thaw and then into a pan with EVOO, some diced onion and peppers, etc. Remove it when you see some slight browning. Really good. I could see the oven thing working too.

the oven method gets them a little bit crunchy which is nice.

Did this liked it but the salt was too much when I did it. But the texture was nice and next time will salt post cooking to taste.

I made a batch of it with dinner last night. I should have left it in there just a little longer to get it a little crispier, but a light dusting of salt and pepper was all it needed.

glad you guys liked it (with some future tweaks)!

I've been adding this to black eyed pea salad (aka "Redneck Caviar"). Provides a perfect chewy, toasty sweetness. My method is to line a sheet pan with foil, hit the foil with some spray oil, spread the corn, spray some more oil, stir around, then throw it in the oven. Thanks!
