This was superb! Did employ more garlic (2 large cloves), lime zest, juice and cilantro than recipe called for simply due to individual taste preferences. Served at dinner party. Guests could not get enough of this and began placing butter mixture on Italian bread after we consumed all of the corn. Plan to make mixture and keep in fridge to use for toppings on fish, grilled pork, other vegetables. Lip-smacking delicious!

Awesome! So easy and tasty! Followed the recipes to the tee and we loved it. The lime juice didn't blend with the butter very well, but I didn't take the butter out early enough to soften it. So I softened it in the microwave for 10 seconds. No problem though, the lime taste came through!
