Corn on the Cob with Lemon-Pepper Butter image

Roasting fresh-picked corn is as old as the Ozark hills where I was raised. My Grandpa Mitchell always salted and peppered his butter on the edge of his plate before spreading it on his corn, and I did the same as a kid.

CORN ON THE COB WITH OLD BAY AND LEMON



Corn on the Cob With Old Bay and Lemon image

If you've had the pleasure of eating your way through a bucket of Maryland blue crabs poured out onto newspaper, you've probably had Old Bay seasoning. It's a blend of celery salt, black pepper, crushed red-pepper flakes and paprika, and any member of its fiercely loyal Mid-Atlantic fan base will tell you that it should be present at any proper crab or shrimp boil. In this recipe, you get lots of that seaside flavor without having to source fresh blue crab.
