- The flavors work so well together.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED (FULL RECIPE BELOW):
Unsalted butter
Garlic
Parsley
Fine sea salt
Corn
Smoked paprika, optional
HOW TO MAKE GRILLED CORN:
- Preheat the grill to high and heat for 10 minutes. If using charcoal, prepare your charcoal ahead of time, this will take longer to heat up.
- Mix the butter, garlic, parsley, and salt together. Spread half of the butter mixture onto the corn before placing them on the grill.
- Grilled them for 10 to 15 minutes, turning them from one side to the other until slightly charred.
- Take off the grill and spread more butter over warm corn and season with smoked paprika if using. Serve immediately.
DOES THIS NEED TO BE CHARRED?
We like a nice char on the corn, but cook it to your desired charring. Because of the butter, the grill might smoke and have flare ups. This will happen from the butter getting hot and dripping onto the burners or charcoal.
WHAT OTHER SEASONINGS CAN I USE ON THIS?
We like to sprinkle it with paprika at the end for a pretty presentation. You can use sweet paprika if you prefer but we love smoked paprika to give a touch more smokiness to the corn.
Other yummy seasonings you can use: bbq seasoning, blackened seasoning, lemon pepper, Italian seasoning, Montreal steak seasoning, chipotle powder, or cayenne.
I HAVE LEFTOVER BUTTER, WHAT CAN I DO WITH IT?
We love butter in our house, so I normally make a double batch to eat with the corn. If there are leftovers it makes a fantastic quick garlic bread. Just spread a thin layer of the butter onto slices of bread and lightly toast under the broiler, heavenly!
HOW TO STORE:
This can be stored in the refrigerator where it will keep for up to 4 days.
This can also be frozen, to do that place corn in a freezer container and it will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
To defrost, place in the refrigerator overnight until thawed and then you can rewarm it in the microwave or in the oven at 350 degrees F until heated through.
