Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
• 6 ears corn, with husks
• lime wedge

Recipe

• 1 prepare grill.
• 2 combine butter and next 5 ingredients (through red pepper) in a small bowl; set aside.
• 3 pull husks back from corn; remove silks from corn.
• 4 place them on the grill. brush butter mixture evenly over corn. grill until nice grill marks appear on the cobs, 10 - 15 minutes.
• 5 serve with lime wedges.
• 6 note: corn on the cob is best husked just before it goes on the grill. cobs are like bananas -- they loose their freshness once the husk has been pulled back. when buying corn, do not even peek -- just run your fingers down the cobs to make sure that they are uniformed -- check there are no worm holes. basically, you want to grill the corn enough to get nice grill marks -- anything more will dry out the cobs. once they are cooked, take them off the grill and let them sit for 5 - 10 minutes, depending on how dense the cobs are. this way, they won't burn the mouth.
