What seasonings do you put on shucked corn on the cob?

Question

At a recent potluck, I had some really delicious freshly shucked corn. It was white and kind of sweet. Any suggestions on what I can mix with corn after I shuck it?

Answer 1

Nothing. Eat it off the cob with lots of butter and salt. It doesn't get any better than that.

Answer 2

Butter. Salt. Or seasoned salt.  Maybe a little sprinkle of cayenne pepper.

SUGAR?  Who said SUGAR?  Yuck!  Corn is naturally sweet.  If it's not sweet, it's not good.

Answer 3

Salt, pepper, butter and if you want it sweeter - a little sugar.

Answer 4

Paula Dean has a recipe for corn on the cob that we tried and LOVED it.

Shuck your corn, and slather mayonnaise onto the corn.  Sprinkle liberally with parmesan cheese and wrap in aluminum foil.  Set it on your grill for about 7-8 minutes.

It sounds really nasty, but it is the BEST!

Answer 5

If by shucking your mean cut from the cob, use it in fresh salsa.

If you mean on the cob, a baked potato and meatloaf.

For seasonings to cook it with just salt and a splash of cayenne followed with lots and lots and lots of butter, or garlic butter.

If you haven't shucked it yet, (leaves still on) soak it in some highly salted water overnight and roasting on the BBQ next day.

Answer 6

For big buffets at work, we used to soak ours in Milk, butter and water for 1 hr, steam it until aldente, then grill it, and right before the guest got a piece, we used to then dunk it into a pot of melted butter, garlic,  onion powder and parsley, then sprinkled some Spanish Paprika on top.  It was some of the best corn on the cob that I ever had and they thought so too.  I however, am a simple chick, but still soak mine in milk, steam them in a pot of salted water, then season them with White Pepper, Onion/Garlic Powder, Paprika and Chives and of course, butter!  Hope this helps you out today!

Answer 7

salt pepper butter, nothing else

The sweetness is in the corn itself, any added sugar can be grainy

Answer 8

Fat man, shucking is just taking off the silk and leaves to expose the cob.  

I like to take a light marinade from a bottle and brush it on.  One favorite here is Lawry's Tequila Lime, but you might want to thin it down a bit.  It can be overwhelming.
