     The traditional Mexican street vendor version of this is to cook or even overcook the corn in water, then rub it with lime and sprinkle a bit of coarse salt over the whole. No fat at all. The lime butter approach sounds intriguing, and I love the sweetness grilling gives the corn. Nice recipe!!! - 11/28/08

     Here's a technique alteration.
    Instead of drawing butter, mix spreadable corn or canola oil with seasonings. Take a good size dollop of the mixture and peel back the husk (don't remove it). Put the oil mix on the corn and rewrap the corn in it's husk.
    Grill as described in the recipe.

     I love this recipie! I mix up a little low fat mayo with a little cumin, chili powder, and lime juice... yummy, you will never eat grilled corn with just butter again! - 6/26/09

     Great recipe! Note for some: If you put butter/oil on the corn before cooking it tends to result in singed/browned kernals, whether broiling/bbq, husked/unhusked, aluminum foil or not. However, the lime, peppers, etc. can be put on it before cooking w/out the singe. - 2/20/10

     I have never liked corn. I decided to make it for some company for dinner. I tried a bite and immediately fell in love. This is an awesome recipe. Even if you don't like corn give this a try. I made extra lime sauce and coated the corn while it was still on the grill too. AWESOME! Will make again! - 3/9/10

     We like our corn grilled in the husk. Instead of butter I like a mix of mustard, cumin, EEOV - 8/16/09

     The cayenne (ground red pepper) adds an awesome spicy kick that pairs wonderfully with the sweetness of grilled corn. Great side dish for those weekend cookouts! - 6/1/08

     I made this recipe for a BBQ and everybody raved about it!
    We cleaned the silk off the corn, then tied the shucks around them and soaked in water for a while before putting it on the grill. - 9/17/09

     Don't whine about the carbs, it's full of fiber, if you can't handle it, don't eat it. - 2/16/10

     I made this yesterday and it was even better than anticipated. My husband and I loved it! Even the kids went back for seconds. It was so easy. This will become one of our staples when grilling. You need to give it a try! - 6/28/09

     this was great. Next time I will add more chili powder sprinkled on top right before I serve. My family loved it. - 2/25/10
  • FUN2BAROUND
     Love this with fresh cilantro mixed with the butter/lime juice. Think it was in WW magazine a couple of summers back. AWESOME! - 1/26/10

     Sounds good. - 2/16/09

     I loved it but it was a bit spicy- next time I fix it I'll probably half the amount of red pepper. Also, cheated and used frozen corn- worked perfectly! - 4/28/10
  • BIZCHICKIE
     I tweeked this one a bit, but it was amazing! I seasoned the corn, added some spicy chili powder and then wrapped each ear in foil before putting them on the grill. The foil keeps the flavor sealed in the packet and keeps the corn moist. - 4/16/10
  • MSDIBS
     yum...but it's great with just some lime juice and a little cumin mixed together and spritzed over the corn.
    saves a few calories! - 6/1/09
