grilled corn on the cob with spicy cilantro lime butter.

Grilling the corn in the husks gives a great texture to the corn.  Spread on some spicy cilantro lime butter and enjoy this summer staple with a little kick.

Clean your grill grate and spray it with cooking spray before lighting.  Or use a paper towel soaked with oil to grease the grill grate.   Heat your grill to high heat.  Pull back your husks without removing them.  Remove the silks.  Replace your husks around the corn.  Place on the grill.  Cook 20 minutes, turning occasionally.  Let cool a few minutes before removing husks.  

spicy cilantro lime butter:

4 T butter, at room temperature

2 T fresh cilantro, chopped

1 t. fresh lime juice

1 t. cumin

1/2 t. chili powder

1/2 t. cayenne red pepper

Make sure your butter is soft.  Add cilantro, lime juice, cumin, chili powder and cayenne pepper to the softened butter.  Stir to combine.  Place in butter mixture close to the end of a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper.  Roll the butter up in the wrap or paper.  Mold butter back into a stick or a pat.  Cover with aluminum foil or throw in a baggie to store in the refrigerator until use.
