Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
Shuck the corn, removing all husks and silk, then rinse under cold water to clean.
In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, smoked paprika, honey, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well until smooth and fully incorporated.
Place the corn directly on the preheated grill grates. Close the lid and grill for 10-15 minutes, turning the corn every 2-3 minutes for even cooking and light char marks.
While the corn is grilling, prepare a serving platter and optionally chop the fresh parsley for garnish.
Remove the grilled corn from the grill once tender and slightly charred. Immediately brush each ear generously with the smoked paprika butter while the corn is still hot.
Transfer the corn to the serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
