Steps:
- Place the butter in a small bowl, add the chili powder, lime peel, lime juice, jalapeño and salt and mix well.
- Shape the butter into any form you like, cover and place in the refrigerator until shortly before ready to serve, at which time allow butter to soften.
- Heat grill to medium-high.
- Place corn (in husk) on the grill, rotating the corn so you cook on all sides, for approximately 15 minutes total.
- Remove from grill and cool slightly (so you are able to peel the husk) and peel. Place corn back on grill over the same flame for about 4 minutes, once again rotating the corn for even grill marks.
- Serve the corn immediately with the chili lime butter.
- Cooking option: Place the corn (in the husk) on a plate and microwave for 5 minutes (21/2 minutes per side); when ready to grill, remove the husks and grill over a medium-high flame for about 2 minutes per side.
Tips:
- When selecting corn on the cob, look for ears with tightly packed kernels and no blemishes.
- To remove the kernels from the cob, hold the cob vertically and use a sharp knife to slice downwards, close to the cob.
- If you don't have a grill, you can also roast the corn nibblers in a preheated oven at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, or until they are slightly charred and tender.
- For a smoky flavor, soak the corn nibblers in water for 30 minutes before grilling.
- To make the lime butter, simply combine softened butter, lime zest, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Serve the grilled corn nibblers immediately with the lime butter and additional lime wedges, if desired.
