Spicy Corn on the Cob with Lime Butter
serves 4
Ingredients: 4 ears sweet corn, shucked
3 tablespoons butter
zest of 1 lime
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 lime, quartered
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for finishing
ground cayenne and pepper to taste
minced parsley, optional

Directions:
Boil corn in well-salted water for 6 - 7 minutes. Remove from the water and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low heat, combine the butter, lime zest, salt, and red pepper flakes. If using pepper or cayenne, add that too. Once butter has melted, stir, turn off the heat, and let the ingredients steep.

Drizzle the butter mixture over the corn, and finish with a squeeze of lime, a pinch of salt, and a sprinkle of parsley. <
