directions

  • Plunge the cobs of corn (whole silks and all) into water and then place them on a open barbecue and cook them on all sides over medium heat until the sheaths are quite darkened (estimated time 20 to 30 minutes).
  • Meanwhile combine the other ingredients into a soft mix.
  • Once cooked peel back the husks and the silks and place a good blob of the mix on each cob of corn and serve and enjoy (maybe present some extra butter on the side) or present corn as is and let everyone do their own serving portions of the butter on the side.

  1. Except for the fact that I bought one of the smallest red chilies I could find & then used just half of it, I did follow the recipe on down! Great way to grill corn, & a very tasty way to serve it! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]
     
  2. Yum! The chilli lime butter really brings out the sweet flavor of the corn and they complement each other so well. Made as written, cooking for 20 minutes and cutting down to two servings. Thanks for the post.
     
  3. I love corn and it is fun to try different fixings and this one is a keeper. A little heat and a little tang, yum, yum.
     
  4. Very nice recipe. I used dried chili peppers as I had no fresh peppers on hand and it turned out perfectly. Will make again, thanks for sharing :)
     
  5. This is really yummy, but my corn wasn't tender after 30 minutes on the grill. Otherwise, this was delicious!! Thanks for sharing!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
