Ingredients

• 4 ears fresh corn on the cob (husks removed)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
• 1 lime lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375-400°F (190-200°C).

Step 2

In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter (about 20-30 seconds in the microwave).

Step 3

Stir the garlic powder, paprika, kosher salt, and ground black pepper into the melted butter until well combined. Set aside.

Step 4

Brush the ears of corn with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. This prevents sticking and adds extra flavor.

Step 5

Place the corn directly on the grill grates. Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes to ensure even charring. The kernels should be tender, and you should see grill marks.

Step 6

Once the corn is grilled, immediately brush each ear with the seasoned butter mixture, allowing it to melt into the kernels.

Step 7

Optionally, sprinkle the grilled corn with freshly chopped parsley for added brightness and flavor.

Step 8

Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for a zesty finish. Enjoy!
