Creamed Corn with Basil and #CookoutWeek 2018

Creamed corn with basil is perfect for when those ears of corn aren’t quite ready for eating off the cob. Made with garlic butter, basil and a touch of jalapeno, this creamed corn might just become your favorite corn recipe.

Corn is one of my favored foods. I love sweet, tender corn and could eat it every day if offered. It isn’t quite corn on the cob season here in Colorado, so I decided to create a great side dish that I’m not sure I’ve made before. In fact, I think the only creamed corn I’ve ever eaten has come from a can. Frankly, that stuff may work good in cornbread, but I much prefer my creamed corn with basil, and especially when it is sitting next to anything fresh from the grill! After all grilling season is special, and demands the best that summer has to offer.

Since the corn I found isn’t quite tender or sweet enough yet, that compelled me to whip up this creamed corn with basil and garlic butter. Chef Shamy of “Make The World a Butter Place”, sent me some garlic butter that is quite out of this world and I knew  it would pair beautifully with corn. Frankly it pairs very well with most anything, including one’s finger. Manservant loves this butter and has been using it for his fried eggs so I figured if I was going to cook with it I best not wait. Hence this delicious, tad bit spicy, perfectly creamed corn with basil.

It’s hard to believe but 4th of July is around the corner which happens to be one of my favorite times to grill. This year Zoe will be coming home and my parents will be arriving for a short visit during that time. I can’t wait to cookout which is one reason I’m participating in Cookout Week 2018. Thanks Pintertest Kitchen for putting this together! I missed out last year because my basement flooded, but no excuses this year! Read through all the great prizes and you will think it’s Christmas in July. The lucky winner receives not only a new grill, but a KitchenAid mixer too!

And one more thing: I promise you will love this butter as much as I do! This clean label butter is really all about the taste. Chef Shamy has 7 different varieties and though I haven’t tasted them all, I was also able to sample their honey vanilla butter. Yes, please! So fill out an entry for Cookout Week, and even if you don’t, you can still get 10% off all butter orders between now and July 4th by using the code 10Butter10. Just do it. This butter rocks!
