Grilled Corn

Corn is in season and cheap! My fiance grills the corn and I prepare the butter for it. Here's how we do it:

Ingredients:

• 2 ears of corn, husks on
• 3 Tbsp. butter, softened
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp. paprika
• Salt and pepper

Directions:

Corn soaking in the sink

1. Remove the silk from the corn but leave the husks on. Soak the ears of corn in water for 1-2 hours. This ensures that when you are grilling the corn, they don't burn into flames.
2. Prepare the butter for the corn: combine the butter, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. You can use other combinations of herbs/spices as well. Examples: lime/lemon zest, cayenne pepper, fresh herbs, etc.
3. Begin heating the grill on a medium setting. Remove the corn from the water; peel back the husks but make sure they are still on. Spread the butter mixture over the corn evenly. Place the husks back on the corn.
4. Place the corn on the grill, rotating the corn every few minutes, for about 20 minutes or until the corn is tender and has a slight char.
