Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).
Husk the corn, removing all silks, and lightly brush each ear with olive oil to prevent sticking.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently.
Once the garlic is fragrant, stir in the red chili flakes, paprika, honey, lime juice, and salt. Remove from heat and set the spicy garlic butter aside.
Place the corn on the preheated grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, rotating occasionally, until the kernels are golden brown and slightly charred.
Using a heat-safe brush, generously coat the grilled corn with the spicy garlic butter. Allow the butter to seep into the hot kernels.
Remove the corn from the grill and sprinkle with fresh cilantro before serving. Add extra lime wedges on the side if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Spicy Garlic Grilled Corn!
