Step 1
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Husk the 4 ears of corn and brush each with 1 tbsp of the butter, using 1 tbsp total for all.
Step 2
Place the corn on the grill and cook, turning every 2-3 minutes, until charred in spots and tender, about 10-12 minutes.
Step 3
Transfer the corn to a platter. Brush with the remaining 1 tbsp butter, squeeze the juice of 1 lime over, and sprinkle with 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper. Serve hot.
Step 4
Optional: add a pinch of chili powder or crumbled cotija cheese for extra flavor.
