Grilled Corn on the Cob

This recipe is simple and so tasty! My husband created this recipe to escape the hot house in the summer. Done outside on the grill, there is no reason to heat up the house on a beautiful summer day. This method can be adapted for camping as well...just cook the corn on a grate over the open flames of a campfire! Change up the recipe and try different vegetables or add chopped fresh garlic or chives!

4 ears of fresh sweet corn on the cob
4 tbsp butter, softened
Salt
Pepper
Powder Garlic
Cayenne Pepper
4 12x12 squares of Aluminum Foil

Shuck corn. Place one corn cob on one individual aluminum foil sheet. (You should have four individual sheets with one corn cob on each sheet.) Spread one tablespoon of butter on each corn cob. Sprinkle with Salt, Pepper, Garlic, and Cayenne to desired amount. Wrap aluminum foil around corn, making sure to seal edges tightly. Cook on grill 15-20 minutes.

*If you prefer to not use aluminum foil, soak corn in water until husks are moist. This will prevent burning. After this, simply follow the butter and spice directions above and place directly on grill for the same amount of time, checking routinely for burning.
