Corn off the Cob with Lemon
Normally, I make corn with butter, lime juice and cayenne, which is my favorite way. Someone seems to have used up all the limes making various cocktails! So because I had a bowl of lemons, I created a new version - Corn off the Cob with Lemon. The sweetness of the corn is perfect with the tartness of the lemon.
