Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine butter, cilantro, garlic, lime zest, chili powder and paprika; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
Preheat grill to medium heat. Peel back outer husks, leaving them attached at the base of the ear; do not remove inner husks. Remove and discard silks; rinse corn and pat dry using paper towels.
Brush corn with canola oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add corn to grill; cover and cook, turning occasionally, until husks are slightly charred and corn is tender, about 12-15 minutes.*
Peel down husks and spread with butter mixture.
Serve immediately with lime wedges.

Notes

*TO ROAST THE CORN: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place corn husks directly on the oven rack and roast until corn is soft, about 35-40 minutes. Peel down husks and spread with butter mixture.
