Outstanding

Grilling and topping with lime-flavored butter elevates common corn on the cob. You can make the lime butter up to two days ahead and refrigerate. Melt butter before brushing over grilled corn.

Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2  tablespoons  butter, melted
  • 1/4  teaspoon  grated lime rind
  • 1 1/2  tablespoons  fresh lime juice
  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/4  teaspoon  ground red pepper
  • 8  ears shucked corn
  • Cooking spray

Preparation

Prepare grill or broiler.

Combine butter, rind, juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

Place corn on grill rack or broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Cook 10 minutes, turning frequently. Remove from heat; brush corn with butter mixture.

Just a few simple ingredients and this corn is outstanding. Adding lime juice allows you to reduce the amount of butter you use on the corn...perfect. This is going to become our standby grilled corn recipe.07/26/09
