Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 whole Fresh lime
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or prepare a medium-hot charcoal grill.
In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, chili powder, paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well to create a chili lime butter.
Remove the husks and silks from the ears of corn. Rinse the corn under cold running water to remove any remaining silk strands, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Brush each ear of corn evenly with the chili lime butter, making sure to coat all sides generously.
Place the corn directly on the grill grates. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until the corn is tender and lightly charred on all sides.
While the corn is grilling, cut the lime into wedges for serving.
Once the corn is done, remove it from the grill and transfer it to a serving platter.
Sprinkle the grilled corn with freshly chopped cilantro and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Serve the corn immediately with lime wedges for squeezing on top. Enjoy!
