Grilled corn in the husk with smoked paprika butter (Barbecue and Griling)

 

                Pulling the leaves back on the corn creates a natural handle to hold onto while you devour the corn. If you love the smoked paprika butter, make twice as much and serve it with warm crusty bread, too.

Serves 6

• 6 ears corn,in the husk

Smoked paprika butter

• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 60 ml unsalted butter, softened
• 2 ml smoked paprika, or to taste

1. Peel back corn husks, taking care not to pull them off ; remove silks and pull husks back over corn, tying securely with kitchen string.
2. Soak in cold water for 15 minutes ; drain well.
3. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine garlic, butter and paprika ; set aside.
4. Prepare a hot fire in your grill.
5. Grill corn for 10 to 12 minutes, turning often, until husks are slightly charred ; let cool slightly.
6. Then pull husks back and brush corn with the butter.
