Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 5 servings

  • 1 (14.4 ounce) package frozen baby gold and white corn (such as Birds Eye®)

  • 1/2 cup water

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed

  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh tarragon

  • 1 large lime, zested

  • 1/2 tablespoon lime juice

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Empty frozen corn into a 2-quart saucepan, and stir in water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain well.
