Instructions
Creating Grilled Corn on the Cob with Herb Butter is straightforward. Follow these steps for a perfect result:
1. Prepare the Corn: Husk the corn, removing both the outer leaves and the silk. Rinse under cold water to clean.
2. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F or 200°C).
3. Mix the Herb Butter: In a bowl, combine the softened butter, parsley, chives, basil (if using), garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
4. Grill the Corn: Place the corn directly on the grill grates. Grill the corn for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and tender.
5. Check for Doneness: The corn should have a slight char and be firm to the touch. The kernels should be bright yellow when cooked.
6. Butter the Corn: Once cooked, remove the corn from the grill. While still hot, generously spread the herb butter onto each ear of corn, allowing it to melt and soak in.
7. Serve: Arrange the corn on a platter. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra splash of flavor!
These steps ensure deliciously grilled corn with herb butter that’s easy to make and delightful to eat.
