Grilled Corn with Cilantro Lime Butter

 

   

There's nothing better than a perfectly cooked sweet ear of corn slathered with salty butter in the summer. . My favorite way to cook corn is to grill it. Grilling it in the husk steams the corn and creates a delicious bite that bursts with sweetness.

What you'll need

• 4 ears of corn in their husks
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• zest of 1 lime, grated
• 1 teaspoon lime juice

1. In a large bowl or the sink, soak the corn in water for 20 minutes.
2. Preheat an electric grill to medium-high heat or a charcoal grill to a medium heat.
