Reviews
This recipe is great on shucked or canned corn. I just add all the ingredients to the pot of corn. I also add lime juice along with the zest.
This is one of those recipes that seriously overdelivers. The butter mayo spread with the hint of lime from zest is the perfect complement to the pan grilled corn. We cooked the corn on a grill pan, and it created the perfect tenderness with just the right char. This was the perfect complement to a couple of thick rib eyes.
Absolutely delish! I used olive oil instead of canola oil because that’s what I had available but still very tasty! Quick, easy & flavorful!
Very tasty and flavorful, I would use a little less lime next time but everyone liked it and its very easy to apply to the corn vs normal butter
Wow! Don’t think I’ve ever tasted corn this good. I made this on the BBQ grill and even ate it left over the next day. It was extremely easy and fast to make. Perfet way to make corn. Can’t wait to make it for my Labor Day BBQ.
I love grilled corn on the cob for its simplicity. I made this recipe at the beginning of the summer and now we eat it once a week. Fantastic!
This is now my favorite corn. So simple to make. It was just wonderful.
Very different from what the family is used to but they loved it! And it was very simple!
My family loved this, it was easy to make and I cant wait to have it again.
