Spicy Grilled Corn Food

SPICY GRILLED CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Carefully pull back cornhusks, remove the silk and fold the husks back over the cobs. Soak the corn in a large bowl of water for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat grill to low heat (300°F). Combine butter, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
• Remove the corn from the water and pat dry with a clean towel. Pull the husks back and brush the kernels with the butter mixture, then cover again with the husks. Grill the corn, turning a few times, until tender and slightly charred, 15 to 20 minutes. To serve, pull back the husks and tie them together with kitchen twine.

GRILLED CORN WITH SPICY CHILI BUTTER

Steps:

• Melt butter in small pan over medium heat. When melted, add garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and cayenne and cook about 1 minute. Set aside.
• Prepare the corn by removing all but the innermost layer of the husk. The kernels should be covered but visible through the layer. Use scissors to snip off the silk ends.
• Grill the corn over medium-hot fire, turning corn every 2 minutes until the dark outlines of the kernels show through the husk and the husk is charred and beginning to peel away from the kernels, about 8-10 minutes.
• Transfer the corn to a platter. Remove and discard charred husk and silk. Using brush, brush each ear with butter mixture.

SPICY GRILLED CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Mix all spices together in a small dish.
• Place a large sheet of foil sprayed with non-stick cooking spray on the top broiler rack, which should be 6-8 inches from the broiling element.
• Put the corn on the foil and broil on high.
• Check corn frequently, turning every 1-2 minutes to avoid burning.
• Corn will be done after about twelve minutes of cooking.
• Remove corn from oven, spread sour cream on it as you would butter and season with spice mixture.
• Serve with lime wedges, squeezing juice over entire cob just before eating.
