How to Make Corn With Garlic Cilantro Butter

  1. Place corn on the cob in a large container.
  2. Cover completely with cold water.
  3. Let stand for 2 hours.
  4. While the corn soaks, prepare the garlic cilantro butter: In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened; 1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro, chopped; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1/4 teaspoon salt; and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Mix until well combined.
  5. Cover the garlic cilantro butter and refrigerate until serving.

  7. Grill the corn in its husks (leaving the silks on) 4-6 inches from the heat source for 20-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is tender and slightly charred. Internal temperature should reach 200-210°F.
  8. Carefully remove the corn from the grill. Remove the husks and silks.
  9. Serve immediately with a generous pat of the chilled garlic cilantro butter.
