Charcoal-Grilled Corn Delight

Ingredients

- 6 ears of fresh corn, husked
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions

1. Prepare the Corn:
- Remove the husks and silk from each ear of corn. Rinse and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.

2. Prepare the Butter Mixture:
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, smoked paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.

3. Preheat and Prepare the Grill:
- Light the charcoal grill and allow it to heat until the coals are covered with a light gray ash, indicating they are medium-hot. This should take about 15-20 minutes. Arrange the coals to one side of the grill for both direct and indirect grilling.

4. Grill the Corn:
- Place the corn directly over the coals. Grill for about 10-12 minutes, turning frequently to ensure even cooking. The corn should have char marks and a golden-brown color. To avoid overcooking, move the corn to the cooler side of the grill, if necessary.

5. Baste the Corn:
- During the last 3 minutes of grilling, use a brush to generously apply the butter mixture over each ear of corn. Allow the flavors to meld as the corn finishes cooking.

6. Finish with Toppings:
- Remove the grilled corn from the grill and place on a large serving platter. Immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the corn, allowing the residual heat to melt the cheese slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley.

7. Serve:
- Serve the grilled corn with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top just before eating. Enjoy your gourmet Charcoal-Grilled Corn Delight!
