In a large frying pan over medium heat, heat the butter and olive oil.  Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant but not browned, about 1 minute.  Add ears of corn, water, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.  Cover and cook, gently shaking the pan occasionally to turn the cobs, for approximately 5 minutes.

How To Boil Corn On The CobBoiling is the quickest, easiest, and tastiest way to prepare fresh corn.  Too many people do not know how to correctly boil fresh corn on the cob.  It is a very easy technique and produces the most delicious corn on the cob.  Corn should be cooked quickly and not left to sit in the boiling water very long.  Fresh corn is at its best when it is very milky inside.  If overcooked, it will dry out quickly.  Please, never over cook your corn!

  5. Uncover and continue cooking, turning the cobs occasionally, until all but a few tablespoons of liquid has evaporated, approximately 2 to 4 minutes more.

  6. Remove from heat.
