Fresh corn is so versatile; you can grill it, bake it, fry it or make a soup of it! I love the sweet flavor of the corn with cream and basil. This is a very easy recipe, however the dish has texture, creaminess, umami, sweetness and fresh herbs! Having friends coming over for dinner? Try this as starter!
