Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

For the garlic butter:
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, slightly softened
4 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the corn:
8 ears corn, silks removed but husks left on, soaked in cold water for at least 10 minutes
2 fresh limes, quartered
1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco or mild feta

Steps:

  • Make the garlic butter:
  • Combine the butter and garlic in a food processor or with a mixer until smooth. (To mix by hand, let the butter get very soft, then beat in the garlic, finely minced, with a large wooden spoon.) Season to taste with salt and pepper. (The garlic butter can be made in advance, covered, and kept refrigerated up to 2 days, or frozen for a week. Bring to cool room temperature before serving.)
  • Make the corn:
  • 1. Heat your grill to high.
  • 2. Place the corn on the grill, close the grill hood, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until steamed through and hot but still crisp (test by carefully piercing with a knife). Unwrap the husks from the corn and immediately spread or brush with garlic butter.
  • 3. Squeeze the limes on top and and sprinkle with cheese. Serve immediately.

Healthy and flavorful! The corn is naturally gluten-free and packed with nutrients. Topped it with salsa instead of queso fresco for a healthier twist.

Simple yet extraordinary. The charred corn kernels had a smoky sweetness that was enhanced by the garlic butter. Lime and queso fresco added a zesty and tangy touch. Simply divine!

Made a vegetarian version by omitting the queso fresco and adding grilled zucchini and bell peppers. Equally delicious! A great way to get your veggie fix.

Grilled the corn over charcoal instead of gas. Gave it a smoky flavor that was out of this world. Served it at my last BBQ party and it was a hit!

Added a sprinkle of chili powder and cayenne pepper to the garlic butter. Turned up the heat a notch and it was fantastic! Highly recommend for those who like a little kick.

Light and refreshing! I used low-fat butter and skipped the queso fresco to make it healthier. Still tasted amazing. A guilt-free indulgence!
