If you only try one new recipe this summer, be sure to make this grilled Parmesan Corn with Smoked Paprika! I love corn on the cob, but this grilled version is truly exceptional!
I admit that I am fond of corn on the cob, no matter how it is prepared, especially fresh from the garden corn. But this grilled version is so easy to make, and the outcome is muy delicioso! So buttery and delicious.
Some folks like to grill corn on the cob in the husk. That’s fine, but to do that, you have to pull back the husks to remove the silk, and then you need to soak it in water to ensure that it doesn’t dry out while it cooks over the coals. With this recipe, there is no need to bother with that last step.
Instead, once you husk and silk the corn, tuck it inside some aluminum foil, slather it with butter and seasonings, and cook on the grill. Then when everything is done, simply unwrap the foil to find a delightful ear of corn, perfectly cooked and seasoned with butter–and my favorite smoked paprika.

Instructions for Making this Recipe
Gather the ingredients so that you have everything close at hand on the counter or table.
Prepare the Corn
Husk the corn cobs, then remove the silks. If you want to keep one end of the cob for easy eating, feel free to do so. Or cut it off with a sharp Chef’s knife. Once the corn has been silked, rinse them under cold water. Pat dry with a paper towel.
Make the Butter Mixture
To make the butter mixture, place butter in a microwave safe bowl and heat 10-20 seconds until melted. Add dried parsley, smoked paprika, and ground mustard to the butter. Whisk to combine.
Next, tear off sheets of aluminum foil, big enough to fit the length of each ear with room to wrap around the corn. Place corn on a piece of foil. Slather the corn with the butter mixture, turning to coat the entire ear. Sprinkle with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Then wrap the foil around the corn to completely enclose it. You don’t want any butter escaping!
Cook corn on a grill over hot coals for 20-25 minutes. If desired, you may move the corn to the edges or on an upper grill while the rest of your meat cooks.
When ready to serve, remove the aluminum foil and generously sprinkle each ear of corn with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. This recipe will serve 4-6 people.
