Ingredients

	8	ears fresh corn, in husks
	~	Seasonings:
	4	Tbsp. butter
	1	tsp. ground chipotle or regular chili powder
	~	Juice of 1 lime
	½	tsp. grated lime peel
	½	tsp. minced purple or green jalapeno
	½	tsp. minced red cayenne pepper (remove seeds for mild)
	~	Sea salt, to taste
	~	Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
	~	Garnish: lime wedges for squeezing

Steps

How to prepare Chili Lime Butter: Place butter in a small bowl, add chili powder, lime juice, lime peel. minced jalapeño, cayenne, black pepper and salt.
Mix well.
Grilling Steps: While your barbecue grill is heating, put corn in husk in bowl, cover with water to soak.
When the grill is hot, drain corn shaking off excess water.
Keeping the husks on, place corn on cooler side of grill, cover and cook for about 20 minutes.
The corn husks will allow the kernels inside to steam and smoke.
Husks will be blackened – with a smoky sweet aroma. Using tongs, peel back husks and transfer corn to the hotter side of grill-- lid open. Corn husks will start to burn off – turn for 5 to 10 min. until lightly charred.
When you are happy with the corn: Remove from grill and cut off tip.
Place your Chili Lime Butter onto platter and use tongs to place the cobs in butter
Roll corn in Chili Lime Butter until coated
Serve with a lime wedge for squeezing
Quick cook option: Place corn (in husk) on a plate and microwave for 5 minutes (2½ min. per side). When ready to grill, remove husks and grill over a med-high for 2 minutes per side.
