Corn transforms from so-so kernels to tangy sensation when grilled, dotted with sour cream and cheese and zinged with a splash of lime. —Leah Lenz, Los Angeles, California

First time i have successful grilled corn on the cob !!! it's very good. I left the cayenne out for my hubby who doesn't like "spicy" and they were still delicious, but betting they would be even better with the cayenne. I mixed all the ingredients together instead of sprinkling the end ingredients and it was fine too.
