Corn on the cob is more delicious on the grill (and when topped with some spicy garlic lime butter!).
Ingredients
  • Ears of corn (husks on, but all silk removed)
  • Butter
  • Garlic Powder
  • Fresh Lime
  • Cayenne Powder
  • Sea Salt (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat outdoor grill on high heat.
  2. Remove all silk from corn, but leave husks on.
  3. Soak corn in water for 20-30 minutes (although cutting it a bit short will still probably be just fine).
  4. Wrap each ear of corn (still in husk) tightly in aluminum foil.
  5. Place wrapped ears of corn on grill and cook for 20-30 minutes, turning once or twice, until corn is tender enough to be pierced with a fork or knife.
  6. For butter: Leave butter out at room temperature while soaking corn -- softened butter will be easier to use.
  7. Depending on amount needed, squeeze a quarter, half, or full lime's worth of juice in. Start low and add more to taste.
  8. Add a generous amount of garlic powder; should cover the butter in a thin layer.
  9. Start light with the cayenne powder and add more to taste.
  10. Mix, then add to corn once it's off the grill.
  11. Add salt to corn to taste. It won't *need* it, but the salt will bring out some of the flavors of the butter!
