Description
Sweet corn grilled and brushed with a tangy chili lime butter.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ears of corn on the cob, husked
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 lime, zested and juiced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium heat.
- In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, lime zest, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Season with salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Brush each ear of corn generously with the chili lime butter.
- Place the corn on the preheated grill.
- Grill the corn for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
- Remove from the grill and serve immediately, with extra chili lime butter if desired.
Notes
- Soaking the corn in water for 15-30 minutes before grilling can help keep it moist.
- You can grill the corn in the husk for a steamed effect, then peel and finish on the grill for char marks.
