Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, if desired
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 package (12 count) frozen corn-on-the-cob
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro or parsley, if desired for garnish

Steps

  • 1
    Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 12 (10x10-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. In 1-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook, stirring frequently, until onion is tender. Stir in 1/3 cup cilantro and the bell pepper; cook 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in lime juice and garlic salt.
  • 2
    Place frozen ear of corn in center of each sheet of foil. Drizzle butter mixture evenly over corn. Fold foil over corn so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again.
  • 3
    Place corn on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 25 to 35 minutes, turning occasionally, until thoroughly heated. Cut large X across top of each packet; fold back foil. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon cilantro.

  • Experiment with herbs from your garden to come up with a new taste every time. Try dill weed, rosemary or thyme.
  • To Bake: Heat oven to 400°F. Line 13x9-inch pan with foil. Place frozen corn in pan. Pour butter mixture evenly over corn. Bake 25 to 35 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
