    This was the best butter I have ever tasted on corn. I made it once for a group BBQ and now I have to make it all the time. It even made non-corn eaters change their minds!

    Thought I reviewed this recipe before, but didn't. Have made it at least seven or eight times. Everyone really liked it. Make sure the aluminum foil is snug!

    OMG, my 8 year old and I made this for Thanksgiving & it was a perfect side to our Crab/Shrimp Gumbo. Unless I ever find a better recipe, this is how I will forever make corn on the cob! Cilantro is the most amazing creation ever. It brings great flavor to whatever it touches! Thanx Food Network for the start of a new family tradition!

    Hi praise ! This recipe was easy to prepare and was the hit of the picnic dinner that we held at the lake for lots of church going types of 80 somethings.
    This recipe trumps the recipe that you can find on line here at FN.com that has no cayenne.
    Be certain to use the lime zest and lime juice. I also add a tsp of cajun seasoning for a little added zing.
    And the tip about remembering to submerge your corn in clean, cold water for 2 hours or more before grilling is a certain MVP for me ! (Most Valuable Tip. This step will keep your corn stalks from turning black.
    Don't over-grill them either. About 25 minutes should do the trick if you can keep your grill to about 400 degrees.
    Enjoy!

    This recipe has become a summer staple for us. I can't make corn on the cob any other way. My husband and 2 year old son LOVE it and eat the corn before anything else on their plates. I usually quarter the butter recipe since there are only 3 of us in the family.

    I made the butter and served it on boiled corn. If you read the recipe - it says to use 2 sticks of corn, but only directs you to put 2tbs on each ear - you should have almost a whole stick left over if you cook by the recipes instructions. I halved the recipe and used as regular butter on the corn and it was awesome!!

    I made this as a side dish to grilled flank steak tonight, and it was absolutely delicious. I scaled back the amount of butter considerably though--I just eyeballed it and figured out how much I'd need to lightly coat three ears of corn. Also, I couldn't find the cayenne, so I used paprika instead.

    The lime adds a bright, citrusy bite, and the cilantro adds a nice burst of freshness. Also, 25 minutes in a 400 degree oven was perfect--the corn retained crunch, but was definitely cooked through. Highly recommended if you like Mexican/Southwestern flavors.
