Ingredients
- 6 fresh ears of corn husk and silk removed
Cilantro Lime Butter
- 1 stick 8 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves finely minced
- Zest and Juice of 2 limes
- 1 garlic clove grated
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375 to 400 degrees F.
- Rip large pieces of foil for each ear of corn you're cooking.
- Place one ear of corn on each piece of heavy duty foil, double wrap the corn if using regular foil.
- Mix together the unsalted butter, lime juice, lime zest, finely chopped cilantro leaves, grated garlic, kosher salt and black pepper in a small bowl.
- Use a brush or back of a spoon to smooth some of the herbed butter mixture all over each ear of corn.
- Fold the foil around the corn, crimping the edges at the top to enclose it completely.
- Place the foil wrapped corn in your preheated grill, close the grill, and let cook for 15 minutes. Turn them or move to indirect heat for another 10 minutes.
- Remove the foil packets from the grill with tongs, remove the corn from the foil, and serve hot with more garlic cilantro lime butter.
