Equipment
- Outdoor Barbecue Grill
Ingredients
- 6 corn on the cob (or as many as you are wanting to grill)
- 1 lime fresh squeezed is best but you can use bottled as well
- 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro finely chopped
- kosher salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup butter
- aluminum foil
Instructions
- Remove husks from corn and thoroughly rinse each piece. Soak the corn cobs in cold water for 15 minutes.
- Remove corn from water bath and pat completely dry with paper towels.
- Cut large pieces of aluminum foil, one for each piece of corn, enough to completely wrap and cover each piece. Then place a piece of corn on each piece of foil.
- Melt butter in the microwave on high for about 20 seconds, or until completely melted. Brush each piece of corn lightly with the melted butter. Then drizzle each piece with lime juice and sprinkle with cilantro, salt, and pepper. Wrap it up in the foil so all the excess juices are still closed in with the corn.
- Grill over medium heat for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally, remove foil and serve hot.
- Drizzle with a little extra melted butter just before serving.
Notes
Recipe Tips:
- Soak your fresh corn in cold water before you grill so that the corn kernels don’t dry out and the corn still retains the moisture and sweet flavor.
- Mix up the flavor by trying different seasonings on your corn.
- No grill, no problem! You can also cook the foil wrapped corn in the oven!
