Love all the colors of the finished corn.
This grilled corn is easy, quick, and delicious. First, I pick up some corn at the local farmer’s market or Reasor’s. I prefer to use sweet corn for this one. Anyway, I 
pull back the husks without removing them. Then I remove the silk and rinse the corn. Leave the husk peeled back and set the corn to the side.
In a small dish, melt butter and mix in some basil, cilantro, lime juice, pepper, and salt. You can also use lime zest depending on how much time you have to meal prep. Once you’ve made your butter mix, then brush it onto the corn and then close the husk again.
You can either grill right away or place the prepared corn in the refrigerator until you’re ready to cook and eat it. If you choose to leave it in the fridge, don’t get freaked out at how the butter can look on the corn when it’s cold. It will melt like it’s supposed to once you place it on the grill.
Once you’re ready, heat your grill to about 400 degrees and grill the corn about 20-25 minutes. I try to turn it every ten minutes or so. The colors are so pretty and fun they add to the table setting for sure whether you’re having friends over for dinner or just cooking for yourself.
Sometimes I’ll do the butter mixture and corn prep in bulk and have about five of these sitting in the fridge. It’s pretty convenient for me just to grab one and grill it for lunch before work. I then cut the corn off and put it in a microwavable dish to take to work with whatever else I’m eating. I can say that fresh off the grill is the best way to eat it.
