Savory Grilled Corn Nibblers

Summer corn is now in season!  Jersey Corn can be so sweet, that is amazing simply boiled, and topped with salt pepper and butter!  For a Mexican twist, we added some savory spices, along with a touch of brown sugar to melted butter for a delicious sweet and savory summertime corn!

4 ears fresh corn (if you are making more than 4 ears just double the ingredients) 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter 1/2 tsp. paprika 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper or chili powder 1/2 tsp. ground cumin 1/2 tsp. brown sugar 1 clove garlic, minced Salt & Pepper 1 lime juiced and additional slices for garnish Chopped cilantro or parsley (optional)
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.  Add fresh corn and simmer for 5 minutes. In a small sauce pan, add butter, spices and minced garlic and simmer over low heat to cook garlic slightly, about 2-3 minutes.  Add lime juice.
Cut each corn in half.  Brush with butter mixture.  Grill until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes.

Drizzle with remaining melted butter.  Add corn cob skewers and serve hot. Serve with lime wedges or slices.
