CORN WITH CHIPOTLE-LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• Peel back the husks from the cobs; remove the silk and discard. Place under running water and run your hands down the length of the cob to remove any silk that remains.

• Meanwhile, mix the butter, lime zest, mint, chili powder, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until well blended.
• When the corn is done, drain it in a colander and transfer the cobs to a plate. Serve the corn right away with chipotle butter on the side or slathered on top.
