Ingredients

  2. Seasonings:
  3. 4 Tbsp. butter
  4. 1 tsp. ground chipotle or regular chili powder
  5. Juice of 1 lime
  6. ½ tsp. grated lime peel
  7. ½ tsp. minced purple or green jalapeno
  8. ½ tsp. minced red cayenne pepper (remove seeds for mild)
  9. Sea salt, to taste
  10. Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps

  1. How to prepare Chili Lime Butter: Place butter in a small bowl, add chili powder, lime juice, lime peel. minced jalapeño, cayenne, black pepper and salt.

  3. Grilling Steps: While your barbecue grill is heating, put corn in husk in bowl, cover with water to soak.
  4. When the grill is hot, drain corn shaking off excess water.
  5. Keeping the husks on, place corn on cooler side of grill, cover and cook for about 20 minutes.
