Method

Place softened butter in a small bowl and add chili powder, lime peel, lime juice, jalapeño and salt. Mix well with a fork.

Transfer butter to a clean sheet of parchment or plastic wrap and roll it and shape into a log. Tie or fold the ends to secure them and refrigerate.

Prepare a grill for medium heat cooking.

Place corn (in husk) on the grill, rotating corn so you cook on all sides, for approximately 15 minutes total. Remove from grill and cool slightly (so you are able to peel husk).

Place corn back on grill over the same flame for about 4 minutes, once again rotating corn for even grill marks.

Serve corn immediately with a slice of chili-lime butter.

Cooking options: Place corn (in the husk) on a plate and microwave for 5 minutes (2 1/2 minutes per side).

When ready to grill, remove husks and grill over a medium-high flame for about 2 minutes per side.
