I dropped by the store and grabbed a couple ears of corn, but forgot to buy the basil... ooops. The corn on the cob was called "sugar and cream" (I guess they changed the name from butter and sugar corn :o) was it good! I cut the recipe in half, this recipe was simple, fresh tasting and wonderful!

This has become my favorite summer recipe! Growing my own basil so I never run out. Sometimes for variation I add avocado and some black beans with a tsp of lemon. Yummy!

absolutely fabulous ! I too added some lemon juice as well as some other stuff "hanging out" in my refrigerator. Many additions possible with this basic recipe

This was super easy and really delicious. I had never cut corn off the cob before but it was super easy. My husband and I loved this recipe. Perfect for a warm day. I will make this again!!!

I wish your recipes did not give some ingredients in cup measurements and some in pounds. Makes it more complicated jumping back and forth.

This is a good base to build on. Tasty as is, but as someone else said can easily add beans, jalapeno, cilantro, green apple, etc.

I've made this recipe many times, with variations such as adding avocado, black olives, pinto or black beans, and a splash of wine vinegar. I do not use the basil, and I usually sub cayenne for the black pepper. Absolutely delicious!

I just tried this as a side dish and it was very good. I did add a few mushrooms and used fresh frozen organic corn. That took some time off the preperation.

This is simply delicious - as is! Add a can of black beans for more of a complete meal, especially if you put it over a spoon of rice or grain of your choice. Sometimes I like to add more spice, like Ms Dash. Another version is to use a broth, vegetable or chicken (low sodium) and saute some asparagus sliced at an angle in little bits size pieces. More broth makes it soup like, less makes a side dish with less juice. Enjoy!

Delicious sauté. Always loved corn on the cob—and this recipe gives us a great reason to chop off the corn kernels and enhance their flavor with a few well-selected, fresh ingredients.

Delicious! I used Thai Basil because that is what I had. It add a little more 'spicy' with the very sweet corn.

I made this for dinner tonight and it was great. There's a small window in the northeast US when all the ingredients are in season at the same time and this is it. Excellent way to use up some of my basil I planted too!

I really wish I could have this! I hate having a corn and tomato allergy.
