Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
Peel back the husks of the corn, but do not remove them. Remove the silk threads, then fold the husks back over the corn. Soak the corn in cold water for 10 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
While the corn is soaking, prepare the spicy butter. In a small bowl, combine the butter, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the butter is smooth and evenly seasoned.
Once the corn is soaked, remove it from the water and shake off any excess. Place the corn on the preheated grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
Remove the corn from the grill and carefully peel away the husks. Brush each corncob generously with the spicy butter while it is still hot.
Sprinkle the grilled corn with chopped cilantro if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Spicy Corncob!
