Grilled Corn with Garlic Butter
Ingredients
  • cooking spray
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 lime, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce (such as Tapatio®)
  • 6 ears fresh corn
Instructions
1
Preheat your outdoor grill to a medium heat setting, allowing it to reach the optimal temperature before proceeding.
2
Lightly coat the grill grates with a thin layer of oil to prevent food from sticking and promote even cooking.
3
In a small saucepan, gently heat garlic and butter over low heat for 5 minutes to allow the butter to absorb the flavor of garlic.
4
Be cautious not to let the butter simmer, as this can cause it to burn or become too dark.
5
In a separate small dish, combine sugar, salt, black pepper, and cumin to create a blend of seasonings.
6
Mix the seasoning blend into the garlic butter mixture, adding lime juice and hot sauce until everything is well combined.
7
Using your hands or a spoon, brush the garlic butter mixture generously onto each ear of corn.
8
Reserve any remaining garlic butter for later use, as you'll need it to brush the corn periodically during cooking.
9
Place the ears of corn on the preheated grill, rotating them occasionally to ensure even cooking.
10
Allow the corn to cook for 10-15 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of tenderness.
11
As the corn cooks, brush it with any remaining garlic butter to add extra flavor and moisture.
