    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.

    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

    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

    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!

    I used lemon instead of lime because I don't like limes. It was very good and different. I will make it again. I also cooked the corn only on the grill and it took an hour on med heat. - 6/18/09

    Allergic to peppers, must eat low sodium, and forgot the fresh limes so no lime rind. Pulled back husks , added the mix and rewrapped. Definately needed more time to cook. My sister likes her corn (over) cooked in water but I like a bit crunchy. No one cared for the lime taste. Will not make again - 7/2/09

    I tried out this recipe last week. I really wasn't all too impressed. Perhaps because I didn't have any limes so I substituted with lemons.. I really don't think it made too much of a difference. It was just a very strong sour taste. Everyone else liked it though. - 6/16/09
