# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Pop your finished corn on a platter and toss a few extra lime wedges on there if folks want a little more zing.
02 -
Give each cob a nice squeeze of lime juice. Then sprinkle on chopped cilantro all over the tops.
03 -
Take those hot corn cobs, let them cool for a minute, then slather on plenty of the smoky garlic butter so it melts right in.
04 -
If you’re after that smoky taste, heat your grill to medium-high. Put the boiled corn on and flip them once a minute until they’re a bit charred all around—5 minutes does the trick.
05 -
Bring a big pot of salted water to a boil. Drop in the corn cobs. Let them simmer 8-10 minutes, just until they get tender. Don’t leave them too long.
06 -
Grab a bowl and mash the soft butter with minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until it’s all blended. Leave it out for a bit.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Want bolder taste? Mix your butter a little in advance and pop it in the fridge so the flavors hang out together.
