A delightful twist on grilled corn, featuring a zesty and spicy lime butter for a burst of flavor.
Pull back the husks from the corn without detaching them and remove the silk.
Removing the silk thoroughly ensures a clean eating experience.
Soak the corn in water for 30 minutes to prevent the husks from burning.
Adding a pinch of salt to the soaking water can enhance the flavor.
In a bowl, mix the butter, chili powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Let the butter soften at room temperature for easier mixing.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill is clean to prevent sticking.
Remove the corn from the water and pat dry. Brush the kernels with the butter mixture.
Use a generous amount of butter mixture for maximum flavor.
Pull the husks back over the corn and secure with kitchen string.
Tying the husks helps retain moisture during grilling.
Place the corn on the grill and cook for 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
Turning the corn frequently ensures even cooking.
Remove the corn from the grill, peel back the husks, and serve with additional butter mixture on the side.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
