Chili Lime Gilled Corn
4 ears of corn
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon chilli powder (I added a bit more)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (I left out the salt)
Cut each ear of corn into four sections. Heat the lime juice and the butter in a small pan until the butter melts. Add the chili powder and the salt and whisk to combine.
Roll each piece of corn with the chili lime mixture. Grill on BBQ for 3-5 minutes until the corn begins to darken slightly on the tips. Flip each piece over and brush the tops again with the chili lime mixture. Grill for another 3-4 minutes, until both sides are lightly browned.
