Steaming the basil under the husks adds lots of flavor to these fantastic ears. Lime makes their sweet taste pop even more. —Diane Eaton, Campbell, California

LOVED this recipe! The flavors were perfect and the directions were excellent. This is certainly going to be one of our "regular" side dishes for grilling this summer

We didn't think this recipe was anything special. It was good, but not great!

This is the only way I cook my corn but I use much more basil. Shuck and desilk the corn but leave most of the shuck on the cob. I also melt the butter, add the salt, pepper, dried basil, then pick fresh basil from my garden to the corn, rewrap the corn and microwave for 2 minutes per ear. If grilling, soak the corn first, then follow my recipe. Yummy!!

I've been grilling my corn on the cob this way for yrs. and perfer it to any other methods. The basil makes it sweeter while the lime adds a pleasant bite. Try it. You just might like it..
