1. Place the ears of corn in a microwaveable dish and add water to half an inch of the container. Then, cover loosely, and cook on HIGH for 14 to 16 minutes. If the grains aren’t plump and tender with a golden-yellow hue, cook them for additional two-minute intervals.
2. Once cooked, remove the ears of corn from the bowl and arrange them on a serving plate. Then, combine the butter with the spices, fresh thyme, and aromatics in a bowl. Slather the butter on the ears of corn and serve hot.
