Who'd have thought corn on the cob could be improved on, but the lime and chili take an old favorite up ten notches! You can also jazz up regular frozen or canned corn by adding lime and chili powder to it, just like in the recipe. –RR

Ingredients
- 4 ears sweet corn, shucked and cleaned
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- 1/2 stick butter, cut into pats
- Chili powder, for sprinkling
- Salt
Preparation
Simmer corn 6-8 minutes in water. Drain and arrange the ears on a shallow plate in a single row. Squeeze all of the ears liberally with lime juice. Nest pats of butter into paper towels (or in a slice of bread) and rub lime-doused hot corn with butter. Season ears with a sprinkle of chili powder and salt, to taste.
