Grilled Corn with Cilantro Lime Butter

My Grilled Corn with Cilantro Lime Butter is a great recipe to spark new memories while prepping for your next family meal. It is so delicious and my family’s favorite way to enjoy corn on the cob. 

Mix softened butter, cilantro, lime juice and peel then chill for 30 minutes in the fridge. Grill the corn over medium heat while occasionally, rotating for an even cook. When it’s finished grilling, serve with Cilantro Lime Butter and Cotija Cheese. This recipe will have you licking your fingers clean!

This corn is guaranteed to enhance your next meal with mouthwatering flavor. You and your family will be reaching over each other to grab the last ear of corn!

WHAT OTHER VEGGIES CAN I USE THE CILANTRO LIME BUTTER WITH?

Try it with steamed veggies like broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower. Cilantro Lime Butter also pairs well with grilled shrimp.

WHICH TYPE OF BUTTER DO I USE?

I recommend salted butter. Unsalted and organic work with this recipe as well.

DO I SHUCK THE CORN BEFORE GRILLING?

Yes! To get those beautiful grill marks make sure to shuck each ear and clean the blonde hair off for the perfect grilled corn on the cob.
