Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove corn husks and silk. Pat corn dry with paper towels.

  2. Step 2

    Mix softened butter with salt, pepper, cilantro, and lime juice in a small bowl. Set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Lightly oil the grill grates. Place corn directly on the grill perpendicular to the grates.

  4. Step 4

    Grill for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes to char evenly on all sides. Corn is done when kernels are tender and have light char marks.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer grilled corn to a serving platter. Immediately brush all sides generously with herb butter while still hot.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately with extra herb butter on the side.
