A Unique Twist
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Rather than using corn on the cob, I use canned corn and prepare this dish in a frying pan. It comes out like a tasty corn... salsa - a big hit in my Mexican family. When I serve it, I cut up avocados and scallions to place on top. Yummy!Read more

It gives corn a new taste
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The only problem serving this with corn is that it's the only way you will want to eat corn. Very good.

I can live without the butter
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I haven't made this version and I probably won't, because I'm trying to eat healthier, and I can live very nicely without the... butter. I've been making Chile/Lime for corn on the cob for several years now, and just make a slurry of chile powder, lime zest and lime juice. It's terrific, and you don't get the calories of the butter, just great tasting corn.Read more

Lime Cilantro Butter Good on More than Corn
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made the butter for corn and it was so delicious I tried it on other things as well. I served it with homemade rolls from... an old family receipt that is slightly sweet. Homemade honey butter made with lavendar honey was also available. The lime butter was gone at the end of the party and I still have some of the honey butter left.Read more
