Step 1
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove corn husks and silk. Pat corn dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Mix softened butter with salt, pepper, cilantro, and lime juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
Step 3
Lightly oil the grill grates. Place corn directly on the grill perpendicular to the grates.
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.
Step 5
Transfer grilled corn to a serving platter. Immediately brush all sides generously with herb butter while still hot.
Step 6
Serve immediately with extra herb butter on the side.
