I got a lot of fresh corn in my vegetable deliveries this summer, and when corn is really fresh it doesn't need much (or really any?) cooking at all. If I'm fixing it for just me, I would mostly shuck it, wrap the ear of corn in a damp paper towel, and microwave it for 3 minutes. Then I generally eat it with nothing, or sometimes just salt and pepper. It's been so good this year it hasn't even needed butter...
I miss corn now. We've moved into sweet potato season now, and while I like those I REALLY enjoyed the corn.
(Oh, and I eat around the cob, not typewriter style.
