Prep Time:10 mins

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
  • 1 whole Fresh lime
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil or melted butter for grilling

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Husk the corn and remove all the silk. Lightly coat each ear of corn with vegetable oil or melted butter to prevent sticking.

Step 3

Place the corn directly on the grill grates. Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes to ensure even charring, until the kernels are tender and slightly blackened in spots.

Step 4

While the corn is grilling, prepare the seasoning butter: In a small bowl, mix the unsalted butter, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Once the corn is grilled, transfer it to a serving platter. Immediately brush each ear with the seasoned butter to allow the flavors to melt into the kernels.

Step 6

Cut the lime into wedges and squeeze fresh lime juice over each ear of corn. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro for a fresh, herby finish.

Step 7

Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful Caribbean Corn as a tasty side dish at your next barbecue or dinner!
