Servings: 4 Prep 10 mins Grill 13 mins

Ingredients

Lime Butter:
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons snipped chives
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped dill
  • 2 teaspoons grated lime zest
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 4 ears fresh corn, husks left on

Make It

Lime Butter:

1. Add butter, chives, parsley, dill, lime zest and juice, salt and pepper to a blender. Puree until smooth.

2. Scrape the contents of the bowl onto a sheet of plastic wrap and shape into logs or pack into ramekins. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Corn:

3. Heat gas grill to medium-high or prepare charcoal grill with medium-hot coals.

4. Peel corn husks down without removing them. Pull off silk and replace the husks. Rinse the corn under water and place the corn on the grill.

5. Grill corn about 13 minutes, turning every few minutes, or until tender. Serve immediately with Lime Butter. Refrigerate any extra Lime Butter in plastic wrap for 1 week.
