• Meanwhile, make the paprika & lime butter. Mix the softened butter with the paprika until fully combined. Stir in half the lime zest and half the parmesan.
• Light the barbecue, if using, and wait until the coals are ashen. Alternatively, heat a dry frying pan over a medium heat until hot.

• Remove the corn to a plate using tongs and spread the paprika butter all over it. Sprinkle with the rest of the parmesan, the coriander and the remaining lime zest. Serve with the lime halves for squeezing over.
