Making this delicious Grilled Corn on the Cob with Chili Lime Butter is as easy as following these steps:

1. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. You want it hot enough to create those lovely grill marks.

2. Husk the Corn: Remove the husks and silk from the corn. Rinse under cold water to remove any debris, then pat dry.

3. Prepare the Chili Lime Butter: In a bowl, blend the softened butter with lime juice, lime zest, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

4. Coat the Corn: Use a brush or your hands to slather the chili lime butter all over the corn, ensuring each ear is well-coated.

5. Grill the Corn: Place the corn directly on the grill. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning frequently, until the kernels are tender and have char marks.

6. Baste Again (Optional): For added flavor, you can baste the corn with more chili lime butter halfway through grilling.

7. Remove and Serve: Once cooked, remove the corn from the grill and let it cool slightly. You can add a final touch of chili lime butter right before serving.

8. Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle fresh cilantro or parsley on top for an added burst of color and flavor.
