Ingredients
  

For the corn
  • 4 ears ears of fresh corn (husked and cleaned)
For the garlic herb butter
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives (chopped)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Optional: a pinch of smoked paprika for extra depth

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Husk the corn and remove any silk, rinsing them under cool water.
  2. Soak the corn in a bowl of cold water for about 20 minutes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter with the minced garlic, chopped parsley, and chives. Stir until well incorporated. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Grilling
  1. Drain and pat the corn dry. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Place the corn on the grill, turning every few minutes until you achieve char marks and the kernels are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Brush the garlic herb butter over the corn in the last few minutes of grilling.
  4. Remove the corn from the grill and let it cool slightly before serving.
