Elote a spin on a traditional classic style corn

Almost everyone has seen the guy or gal pushing the shopping cart down the street honking the bike horn here is how to make "Elotes" or corn. Not everyone likes corn on the cob so this is a simplified version using a bag of frozen corn.

What you will need:
A bag of frozen 16 ounces
1 Tablespoon of butter or margerine
2 Tablespoons of Best Foods Mayonnaise (it really needs to be name brand since there are so few ingredients)
3 Tablespoons of ground Parmesan Cheese or Cotija if you are near a Mexican market they are interchangeable in just about any recipe.
a pinch of kosher salt
Microwave safe dish

Place corn in the microwave for 2-4 minutes until defrosted and slightly warm I start at 2 minutes and stir every 30 seconds until warmed. once corn is defrosted drain any water and mix in the butter or margarine until melted if the butter is not melting pop everything in the microwave for 30 more seconds. once butter is melted in add pinch of  salt mix in the mayo and 2 of the tablespoons of the parm. Even out the corn mix and top the corn with the remaining parm and put back in the microwave until hot 3 minutes or so depending on your microwave. You don't have to follow it exactly these are just guidelines if you like one ingredient more than another use more it is totally to your taste!
