Ingredients
- 4 ears corn on the cob (husks removed)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 fresh jalapeno, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F).
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine unsalted butter, minced jalapeno, lime zest, lime juice, minced garlic, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well until smooth to create the jalapeno lime butter.
Step 3
Brush the corn on the cob with olive oil to prevent sticking and place them directly onto the preheated grill grates.
Step 4
Grill the corn for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels are tender and lightly charred all over.
Step 5
Remove the corn from the grill and immediately brush each ear generously with the jalapeno lime butter while they are still hot.
Step 6
Optional: Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the corn for an extra burst of flavor and freshness.
Step 7
Serve the Grilled Jalapeno Lime Corn on the Cob immediately as a delicious side dish or snack.
