Grilled Corn with Cilantro Lime Butter: An Easy Summer Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1.5 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper
• 8 ears corn on the cob, unhusked
• 3 quarts cold water, or as needed to cover

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, cream the butter until it's smooth and easily spreadable. Mix in the fresh cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of cayenne pepper until everything is well combined. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about an hour to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
2. Start by peeling back the husks of the corn, being careful to keep them attached at the base. Remove all the silky strands from the corn. Then, fold the husks back over the corn. Soak the corn in a large bowl filled with cold water for approximately 20 minutes to ensure it stays moist during grilling.
3. Prepare your grill by preheating it to medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent the corn from sticking.
4. Place the corn (still in its husks) onto the preheated grill. Close the lid and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, turning the corn frequently, until the husks are nicely charred and the kernels are tender and cooked through. Remove the husks and generously spread the cilantro lime butter over the corn before serving.
