Equipment

  • Grill

Ingredients
  

  • 6 Corn on the Cob Husk off, but leave a few leaves if possible
  • ½ stick butter salted
  • sea salt for sprinkling
  • pepper for sprinkling
  • ½ cup mayonnaise Any
  • ½ cup Grated Cheese Any (I used Romano)
  • Fresh Cilantro Optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat grill to high heat
  • Shuck Corn, leaving the shank as a handle. Save some of the husk.
  • Butter the Corn generously. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
    Salt and Pepper Corn
  • Place the corn on the hot grill, placing some husk leaves in between each piece. The husks will char and add a nice smokiness to the corn.
    Begin Grilling Corn
  • Rotate a 1/4 turn every 4-5 minutes. The corn should be cooked with some scorching.
  • After 4 turns, remove corn and slather lightly with mayonaise.

  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Gas Grills have hot spots, so rotate your corn around the grill if they seem to be cooking unevenly.
  • If using charcoal, toss some husk on the coals with each turn to get that smoke on the corn.
  • Refrain from closing the grill, it will cook the corn on top as well.
