**Sweet Corn With Lime Butter**
**Ingredients:**
– 6 ears of fresh sweet corn
– 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
– Zest of 1 lime
– Juice of 1 lime
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
**Instructions:**

2. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, lime zest, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.

5. While the corn is still hot, spread the lime butter generously over each ear of corn, allowing it to melt and coat the kernels evenly.
6. Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the corn for a burst of fresh flavor and a pop of color.
7. Serve the Sweet Corn with Lime Butter immediately while still warm and enjoy the delightful combination of sweet corn with a tangy lime twist.
