Corn Cooked in Husks on the Grill With Chile-Lime Butter image

Simple and delicious. This is a nice twist on grilled corn-on-the-cob because it includes a chilie-lime butter. The butter can be made up to 2 days ahead, covered and refrigerated. Just bring it back to room temperature before brushing on the corn. Enjoy!

Categories     Corn

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 ears corn, in the husks
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Pull the husks back from the corn and remove the silks.
  • Pull the husks back into place around the corn.
  • Soak the ears in warm water for at least 30 minutes.
  • For the Chilie-Lime Butter:.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the butter, chilie powder, lime juice, salt and pepper.
  • Preheat the grill.
  • Remove the corn from the water and pat dry.
  • Gently peel the husks back from the corn and brush the corn with the butter.
  • Pull the husks back around the corn and tie with a piece of husk or kitchen string to keep the husks around the corn.
  • When the grill is hot, place the cobs on the rack and cook until the kernels are tender and lightly browned, about 20 minutes, turning occasionally.
  • The outer husks will burn, but the inner layers will protect the corn.
  • Remove the husks and serve immediately.
  • Pass additional chilie-lime butter.

I wasn't sure about the chile-lime butter at first, but it was actually really good. It gave the corn a nice kick of flavor.
