Chili-Lime Corn on the Cob

Posted on

There’s nothing better than sweet summer corn on the cob

Except maybe a zesty herbed butter to slather all over it!

I have to admit, I’ve been overcooking corn on the cob my entire life

I was at my Cousin Mary’s house and she put me in charge of the corn.  So, I husked it and was ready to throw it in the pot of salted boiling water and she said “no, not yet…”

Ok, I’ll wait, but doesn’t corn on the cob take like 30 minutes to cook??  “Oh HECK no!”

7-8 minutes is the perfect amount of time to boil your corn and you won’t lose any of the delicious sweetness or creamy corn taste!

Bring a stick of butter to room temperature and assemble a lime, 1 cup of fresh cilantro, 1 tablespoon of paprika, 1 tablespoon of chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne and a teaspoon each of kosher salt and black pepper
