Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears corn on the cob, husked
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 medium jalapeno, finely chopped (remove seeds for less heat)
- 1 small lime, zested and juiced
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, for brushing
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, chopped jalapeno, lime zest, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Brush the husked corn with olive oil to lightly coat all sides.
Place the corn on the preheated grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes. Grill until the kernels are tender and lightly charred in spots.
Remove the grilled corn from the grill and immediately spread a generous amount of the jalapeno lime butter over each ear while the corn is still hot.
Optional: Sprinkle with fresh cilantro for garnish.
Serve warm and enjoy!
