This weekend, I put into practice what I mentioned here
earlier about sweet corn. The stuff we got was from the
grocery store, so it was probably a lot older than if we'd
gotten if from the field. I soaked it for 3 hours in sugar
water to sweeten it a bit.

The shucks were carefully pulled back and the silk pulled
off. The ear was then smeared with tepid butter.

We put Italian seasoned croutons in z blender, added some
salt and pepper, and let Mr. Oster do his trick. The
smeared ears were then covered with the resulting crumbs. I
was reminded that you can also do a decent job with plain
old garlic croutous and some dry Italian salad dressing
seasoning. The shucks were then pulled back around the ears
and they were grilled until the internal temperature of the
cob was "medium" by my thermometer. The were turned
frequently so that the butter would run around and not out
of the shucks.

When we got done eating them and a few shrimp I'd grilled,
the folks were licking their elbows and begging for more.

If you want to experiment a bit, go get yourself some
Gardini's Caesar Salad Dressing. Substitutes won't work. Use
that instead of butter when you're grilling an ear or two of
corn. You'll thank me for the suggestion. <grin> Itr also
works great on shrimp, scallops and some fish. When using
it as a grilling sauce for seafood, I hop it up a bit with
some additional garlic, Texas Pete sauce and a little mustard.
