A can of corn can get pretty boring, adding butter makes it a little better but I really wanted to flavor things up the other night when we had shrimp tacos so I decided to try adding lime and cilantro to see if that made it a little more exciting!
It was definitely better than a plain can of corn and I expect that we’ll be having it this way many more nights!
Summer time sweet corn straight off the cob would make this even better- trade in 4 fresh cobs of corn for the can. Boil the shucked cobs and then cut the kernels off if you decide to go uber fresh!
This gadget would make that go really fast!
