Grilled Corn with Smoked Paprika Butter image

This is a great way to dress up grilled corn on the cob. If you can't find the hot smoked paprika, try using about 4 teaspoons of minced chipotles in adobo sauce instead. The butter can be prepared one day ahead.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 c unsalted butter (2 sticks), room temperature
2 tsp hot smoked paprika
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/2 tsp sugar
1 pinch salt
20 ears fresh corn, shucked

Steps:

  • 1. Blend butter, paprika, garlic, sugar, and salt in processor until smooth.
  • 2. Wrap paprika butter in plastic, forming 1 1/2-inch-diameter log. Refrigerate butter until very cold, about 2 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
  • 3. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Working in batches, cook corn in large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well.
  • 4. Grill corn until lightly browned in spots, turning occasionally, about 5 minutes. Serve corn hot with thick slices of paprika butter.
