Did you know that corn season is short because the ears ripen and get picked at about the same time? That time is now, and I plan to eat my body weight in the sweet stuff this summer.
Go ahead and grab as many ears as you can because there is no way you'll get bored of eating them. Here are seven perfect hot-summer corn recipes for every day this week, including smart tips from Simply Recipes editors, contributors, and readers to help you along.
Fresh Corn Pasta
"Don’t forget to run the backside of your knife down the entire ear after you slice off the kernels. This will release the juicy interior, the most flavorful part of the corn that also helps make the sauce creamy." —Laurel Randolph, Senior Editor
Mexican Street Corn Nachos
"We had this for supper tonight. It was the bomb. I added chicken taco meat for protein." —Kelly, Simply Recipes Reader
How to Microwave Corn on the Cob
"These instructions are for 1 ear of corn. If you want to microwave more than 1 ear at a time, increase the cooking time by 2 minutes for every additional ear of corn, depending on the power of your microwave and the size of your ears of corn. You may need to experiment to find the right time for your microwave." —Elise Bauer, Simply Recipes Founder
Spicy Corn Fritters
"Had these for lunch today and they were great, especially the dipping sauce. Subbed white wine vinegar b/c I was out of rice wine vinegar and red onion for scallions but still thought it tasted great, will def make these again, they're so easy to whip up." —Andi, Simply Recipes Reader
Creamy Skillet Shrimp with Corn, Pancetta, and Tomatoes
"The frozen corn doesn’t have to be thawed for this recipe—just throw it in straight from the freezer and let the ice evaporate immediately." —Julia Levy, Simply Recipes Contributor
Korean Corn Cheese
"Tried this today and it is going in the permanent file. Couldn’t believe how great it was for so little effort. I didn’t have the spice so I substituted with smoked paprika and a touch of cayenne. Now that we love the dish I’m looking forward to picking up the proper spice." —Leigh, Simply Recipes Treader
Creamed Corn
"For a creamed corn casserole, add a little extra liquid (cream or water), sprinkle a little cheddar or Parmesan on top, and bake in a 375°F oven until brown and bubbly." —Sally Vargas, Simply Recipes Contributor
