Grilled Corn on the Cob with Cilantro Butter & Lime
This Grilled Corn on the Cob with Cilantro Butter and Lime is a perfect summer side dish! Easy to make and a definitely a crowd pleaser!
Just in time for the weekend I thought it would good to post a corn on the cob recipe because weekends are for BBQing right?! Now I know corn on the cob is not complicated by any means, but sometimes it’s not complicated enough? I mean until I put fresh cilantro and lime juice on my corn, I had no idea what I was missing. My husband was skeptical of the lime juice but quickly changed his mind after eating these. Oh the lime…it seriously takes this corn to the next level. Major deliciousness!
And grilling corn on the BBQ? The best. And so easy. The butter and herbs soak into the corn as it roasts, and makes the corn so flavourful and sweet. But I pretty much love any vegetables that are roasted because the flavour seems to be so much better. Like roasted cauliflower? The best. Or roasted beets or asparagus or potatoes? Yum. Hungry yet?
This corn is SO good. You need to try it with the lime juice…you do.

Ahh good to see that this Orange is the New black ad has hijacked your site too. Well not good per se, but I’m glad it is clearly a sheblogs issue and not an issue with my site. Anyways I hope it gets fixed soon! And more related to this post, I love grilled corn on the cob, it is so nutty and delicious!
