Ingredients
Scale
4 ears fresh corn on the cob
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon paprika or chili powder (adjust for spice preference)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Instructions
Husk the corn and remove all silk strands.
Soak the corn in water for at least 30 minutes to retain moisture while grilling.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F/200°C).
Brush each ear of corn generously with melted butter and sprinkle with salt and paprika or chili powder.
Place the corn directly on the grill grates and grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until charred and tender.
Remove from heat, drizzle with fresh lime juice, and serve immediately.
Notes
For extra flavor, mix in garlic powder or try different flavored butters.
Keep an eye on the corn while grilling to avoid burning; aim for tender kernels with a nice char.
