Ingredients
- 4 ears corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).
Step 2
Husk the corn, removing all silks, and lightly brush each ear with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently.
Step 4
Once the garlic is fragrant, stir in the red chili flakes, paprika, honey, lime juice, and salt. Remove from heat and set the spicy garlic butter aside.
Step 5
Place the corn on the preheated grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, rotating occasionally, until the kernels are golden brown and slightly charred.
Step 6
Using a heat-safe brush, generously coat the grilled corn with the spicy garlic butter. Allow the butter to seep into the hot kernels.
Step 7
Remove the corn from the grill and sprinkle with fresh cilantro before serving. Add extra lime wedges on the side if desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your Spicy Garlic Grilled Corn!
