Really good. Served with Cumin-Spiced Chicken with Chunky Tomato Sauce. The lime zest really made this tasty. I boiled the corn for about 10 minutes with some sugar added to the water and just brushed the melted butter mixture over it. Yum!

I made this during the summer with fresh corn on the cob, and it was delicious. I especially liked the spicy sauce, and the flexible recipe allowed me to use ingredients I already had on hand. Love that I can cook it in the microwave.

Delicious and super easy to make. I've never made corn-on-the-cob before, so microwaving it was a good introduction. The sauce was yummy, and it was a nice change from plain butter. Served as a side to Cumin-Spiced Chicken with Chunky Tomato Sauce (Oxmoor April 09). Paired very nicely together to make a great southwestern meal.
