1/4 cup scallions, minced

1 tablespoon chipotle chiles in adobo, minced and seeded

1/4 teaspoon grated lime zest

Instructions

Stir together butter, scallions, chipotle, zest and rounded 1/2 teaspoon salt in large bowl.

Cook corn in large pot of boiling water until crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. If you've got the grill going, toss ears on for a quick char and deeper flavor. Transfer to butter mixture and toss. Serve warm.
