Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears corn on the cob (husks removed)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 fresh jalapeno, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F).
In a small bowl, combine unsalted butter, minced jalapeno, lime zest, lime juice, minced garlic, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well until smooth to create the jalapeno lime butter.
Brush the corn on the cob with olive oil to prevent sticking and place them directly onto the preheated grill grates.
Grill the corn for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels are tender and lightly charred all over.
Remove the corn from the grill and immediately brush each ear generously with the jalapeno lime butter while they are still hot.
Optional: Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the corn for an extra burst of flavor and freshness.
Serve the Grilled Jalapeno Lime Corn on the Cob immediately as a delicious side dish or snack.
