Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.
Remove the husks and silk from the ears of corn and rinse them under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Brush each ear of corn generously with olive oil, ensuring all sides are coated.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Sprinkle this spice mixture evenly over the corn, turning the ears to coat all sides.
Place the seasoned corn directly on the grill grates. Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning the cobs every 3-4 minutes to ensure even cooking and char marks. Keep an eye out to avoid burning.
While the corn is grilling, melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Optionally, mix in a pinch of additional black pepper and parsley into the melted butter for added flavor.
Once the corn is tender and nicely charred, remove it from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Brush the hot corn with the melted butter and sprinkle with parsley if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the smoky, peppery flavors!
