Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn on the cob
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large jalapeno
- 1 large lime
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Peel back the husks of each ear of corn without detaching them. Remove the silk threads and fold the husks back over the corn. Soak the corn in a large bowl of water for 10 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Step 3
While the corn soaks, prepare the jalapeno lime butter. Finely mince the jalapeno (remove seeds for less heat) and garlic. Zest the lime and set the zest aside, then juice the lime.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced jalapeno, garlic, lime zest, lime juice, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 5
Remove the corn from the water and shake off any excess moisture. Grill the corn with the husks on for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels are tender and lightly charred.
Step 6
Remove the corn from the grill and carefully peel back the husks to expose the charred kernels (you can leave the husks attached for a rustic presentation).
Step 7
Brush the grilled corn generously with the jalapeno lime butter while still warm. Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.
Step 8
Serve hot and enjoy!
