  • Author: Clara Walker
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 ears of fresh corn on the cob, husked
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
– ½ teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt, to taste
– Juice of 2 limes
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
– Lime wedges, for serving


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to prepare your Spicy Grilled Corn on the Cob with Lime:

1. Prepare the Corn: Husk the corn and remove all silk. Rinse under cold water to clean.
2. Make the Spice Mix: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and salt. Mix until well blended.
3. Coat the Corn: Brush the spice mixture generously over each ear of corn, making sure to cover all sides.
4. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high. Make sure it’s sufficiently hot for the best grilling results.
5. Grill the Corn: Place the corn directly on the grill. Cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until all sides are tender and slightly charred.
6. Prepare the Lime Juice: While the corn is grilling, juice the limes into a small bowl for easy drizzling later.
7. Finish the Corn: Once the corn is cooked, carefully remove it from the grill. Drizzle with lime juice immediately while still hot.
8. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle with fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness and color.
9. Serve: Arrange the corn on a platter with lime wedges on the side for extra zest.

Following these steps will ensure that your Spicy Grilled Corn on the Cob with Lime turns out perfectly every time!
