The way Rachael Ray suggests is good, but even better is to top your corn with mayonnaise, cotija cheese (can substitute parmesan), chili powder (cayenne or for slightly different flavor profile try one of the other many varieties such as ancho chili powder, guajillo chili powder, or chipotle chili powder. Ancho powder is a milder chili, guajillo is mild and smoky, chipotle is spicy and smoky). Top with a touch of freshly squeezed lime juice.<br />
