Fresh corn in the summertime is something I buy every week. My kids all love it and I use it in so many recipes, but it’s especially good like this. Simply steamed then lightly slathered with this deliciously spicy and slightly sweet butter that I can eat with just about anything. I serve this corn mostly with my Jamaican Style Jerk Chicken with Pineapple & Mango Salsa and it’s the perfect dinner for a hot summer’s night.

Transfer to a platter and spread some butter over each corn cob to coat. Squeeze over lime juice, grate over parmesan and top with extra coriander leaves.
