Mexican Street Corn – Esquites (off the cob)

This Mexican Street Corn (Esquites) recipe is from Trevor Lui's "The Double Happiness Cookbook."

Trevor Lui has made a life and career surrounded by the sights and sounds of food and drink. He has spent more than 20 years producing thousands of event experiences as an executive for major entertainment venues, top-tier hotels and casinos for the likes of heads of states and Hollywood starlets. A diverse builder of innovative implementation, brand marketing, operations and ground-zero build outs, he prefers a good, honest meal on a street corner to being tied down to a corporate boardroom. He’s a lover of ‘the story’ and inspired with each bite and sip around him and believes we are all connected through our dining experiences.

In The Double Happiness Cookbook, Lui beautifully intertwines stories and memories with mouth-watering recipes like this Mexican Street Corn.

"Corn niblets are always a back-up staple in my freezer or pantry. It’s tough to beat fresh on the cob, but this recipe is so easy and the slight Asian twist at the end makes for an amazing and tasty side dish - espeically with tacos."
