Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 teaspoons Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 4 sheets Aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat a grill to medium heat or an oven to 375°F (190°C).
Shuck the corn by removing the husks and silk, then rinse the ears to remove any remaining strands.
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Lay out 4 sheets of aluminum foil, each large enough to wrap one ear of corn completely.
Spread about 1 tablespoon of the butter mixture evenly over each ear of corn.
Place each ear of corn in the center of a foil sheet. Tightly wrap the foil around the corn, ensuring it is fully sealed.
Place the foil packets directly on the grill grates or on a baking sheet in the oven.
Grill or bake for 15-20 minutes, turning the packets occasionally to ensure even cooking. The corn should be tender when done.
Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for steam) and serve warm. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
