Basil Creamed Corn

Keep the corn frozen. That's Shereen's instruction as the kernels go into a creamy sauce, with fresh basil providing the finishing touch she insists matters most: "Don't skip the basil. It makes it."
"Basil Creamed Corn" drew about 152,000 views, the largest audience among COOKING WITH SHEREEN's four uploads this week. The Thanksgiving side starts with shallot softened in butter, then flour whisked into a roux. Whole milk, heavy cream and a little light brown sugar follow before the corn goes in. A covered simmer and occasional stirring finish the job, rather than any elaborate prep.
The comments offer a few possible variations on the dinner plan. One viewer has homemade basil salt waiting for a use; another has never tried basil with corn. Others are considering adding the dish to their holiday menu, while a Canadian viewer is saving it for Christmas. Shereen's distinctive delivery of "pepper" gets a mention, too.
Elsewhere on the menu, "Lobster Bisque, because you're fancy" has the strongest daily momentum right now. "KICKED UP Pumpkin Bread Pudding" supplies dessert, and "The BEST Thanksgiving Sangria" rounds out the new uploads, though it drew a much smaller audience than the food.
Channel-wide daily views are running roughly half above their usual level, while the subscriber count was unchanged over the week. Nearby-sized cooking channels are also having lively stretches, notably Chef Thomson and Breanna Stark. For Shereen, the enduring taste for creamy sides reaches back well beyond this menu: "STEAKHOUSE CREAMED SPINACH," posted in 2019, remains her most-watched regular video.

This year, I made basil salt. This might be the perfect recipe to use the flavored salt in.
