Fresh corn on the cob doesn’t need much to dial up its deliciousness. This recipe brings out the natural sweetness of the kernels with a quick char on the grill and a finishing smear of butter seasoned with smoked paprika and lime. You can also adapt this dish for colder months, when corn on the cob might not be available. Simply toss the seasonings with reheated frozen corn kernels.
