This recipe is my attempt to recreate that magic.

📖 Instructions
- Get that grill going! Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you're using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are evenly distributed and have a nice, ashy glow. I find that this give the corn a perfect char without burning it to a crisp.
- Prep the Corn: Carefully remove the husks and silk from the corn on the cob. Give them a good rinse under cold water to remove any lingering bits of silk. Nobody wants that stuck in their teeth! Make sure you dry them off a bit afterwards.
- Mix the Garlic Parmesan Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is nicely combined. I like to use a fork to really mash the garlic into the butter. It makes all the difference, trust me.
- Brush the Corn: Generously brush the garlic parmesan butter mixture all over the corn on the cob, ensuring every nook and cranny is covered. Don't be shy with the butter! It's what gives the corn that amazing flavor. Plus, who doesn't love a little extra butter?
- Grill the Corn: Place the corn on the preheated grill. Grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is tender and slightly charred. Keep a close eye on them, as the butter can cause flare-ups. You want a nice char, not a burnt offering.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the grilled corn from the grill and let it cool slightly before serving. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or extra Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve immediately and watch them disappear! They're seriously addictive.
