Total time: 20 min • Prep: 10 min • Cook: 10 min • Serves: 6 • Difficulty: Easy
A quick char (and an even quicker smear of paprika-lime butter) brings out the natural sweetness of corn. You can adapt this dish for colder months, when fresh corn might not be available. Simply toss the seasonings with reheated frozen corn kernels. For a special touch, sprinkle with crumbled cotija cheese.
