Cilantro Lime Sweet Corn

INGREDIENTS:

4 cups corn (cut from about 5 ears)

1½ teaspoons salt

½ teaspoon sugar

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Zest of 2 limes

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

½ cup cilantro, finely chopped

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Combine the corn, 1½ cups water, salt and sugar in a 10-inch skillet or medium saucepan. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes -- until the corn is tender-crisp and there are about 2 tablespoons of water left in the pan (it's fine to eyeball it; it doesn't need to be exact).

2. Stir in the butter, lime zest, lime juice, cilantro, and cayenne pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning, then serve warm.

3. Make Ahead: This dish can be made up to a day ahead of time but wait to add the cilantro until right before serving.
