How to Make Grilled Corn On The Cob With Jalapeno Lime Butter

Prepare your grill for medium-high heat.
Grill the jalapenos, turning occasionally, until charred on all sides (about 5-7 minutes).
Remove jalapenos from grill and let cool for 5 minutes.
Using a small paring knife, carefully peel the charred skin from the jalapenos.
Scrape out and discard the seeds and pale membranes.
Coarsely chop the jalapenos.
Add the chopped jalapenos to a food processor.
Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, 2 cloves minced garlic, and the zest of 1 lime to the food processor.
Process until completely smooth.
Season the jalapeno-lime butter to taste with salt (about 1/2 teaspoon to start).
Transfer the jalapeno-lime butter to a small bowl and set aside.
Grill the corn, turning occasionally, until the husks are blackened and slightly charred on all sides (about 15-20 minutes).
Wearing oven mitts, carefully remove the husks and silks from the corn.
Serve the grilled corn immediately, generously topped with the jalapeno-lime butter and a sprinkle of sea salt.
