Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Corn

    Start by husking the corn. Remove the outer green layers and the silk threads from each ear of corn. Rinse the corn under cold water to remove any remaining silk.

  2. 2

    Boil the Corn

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the husked corn to the boiling water. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the kernels are tender.

  3. 3

    Drain and Season

    Once the corn is cooked, carefully remove it from the pot and drain it. Place the corn on a serving platter.

  4. 4

    Add Butter and Spices

    While the corn is still hot, spread 1 tablespoon of butter over each ear of corn. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and chili powder to taste. Drizzle with lime juice.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Finely chop the fresh cilantro and sprinkle it generously over the seasoned corn.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the corn immediately while hot, allowing your guests to enjoy the delicious buttery, spiced flavor.
