Ingredients

  • 6 ears corn

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat a grill to medium heat.
  2. Cut the very tops off of the corn cobs (mostly just the excess silk and husks).  Fill a large bowl with cold water and 1 tablespoon salt.  Add the corn and let it soak for 10 minutes.
  3. Remove the corn from the water.  Place the corn on the grill and cook for about 20 minutes, turning the corn every 5 minutes. 
  4. While the corn is cooking, combine the butter, lime zest, honey, salt, cumin and paprika in a small bowl.
  5. When the corn is done cooking, remove from the grill and carefully remove the husks and silk from the corn.  Brush the butter mixture evenly over the corn.  Serve immediately.
