Steps:
- Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the lime juice, salt, and cayenne. Stir. Keep warm.
- Now the corn: Peel off all but one or two layers of the corn husk. Pull the remaining husks down, but not off, and remove as much silk as possible. (Don't fuss with it too much; any remaining silk is easily removed later during Step 5). Pull up the husks; it's okay if some kernels aren't completely covered.
- Prepare a hot charcoal fire or heat a gas grill to high. Put the corn on the grate while the coals are still red-hot. (Cover a gas grill.).
- Grill the corn, turning often, until the outer layer of husk is completely charred. Depending on your fire, this could take 5 to 10 minute Then, you can push the corn to a cooler spot on the grill if you're cooking other things, or remove from the heat completely and set aside.
- Just before serving, peel off the husk and brush away the remaining silks. Brown the kernels on the grill briefly, turning the corn frequently to develop a roasty color and a little additional smoke flavor, about 1 minute (If the corn spends too long on the grill without the protection of the husk, the kernels will become dry and a little chewy.).
- Brush the warm cayenne butter on the hot grilled corn and serve.

ROASTED CORN WITH CILANTRO LIME BUTTER
This is a great recipe from Party Line with The Hearty Boys on the Food Network. It has gotten rave reviews each time I've made it. It would also be great with fresh corn kernels cut off the cob and sauteed with the butter mixture in a skillet.

CORN ON THE COB WITH LIME, FISH SAUCE AND PEANUTS
As this recipe proves, lime juice, fish sauce and sugar is a powerful combination you should commit to memory. Traditionally, those three ingredients form the base of several classic Thai and Vietnamese sauces like nuoc cham and nam pla prik. The mayonnaise here is barely noticeable, but it serves an important role in helping the flavors adhere to the corn. The cilantro is optional so no one will throw a fit.

CORN ON THE COB WITH COCONUT AND LIME
Anyone avoiding dairy might notice that corn on the cob served at cookouts usually comes slathered with butter. This vegan alternative uses coconut oil to add richness, lime juice for a little acid, and finely chopped, toasted coconut chips for added texture. Mixing half of the chips into the oil helps them stick to the cob, which is smart because you'll want them in every bite. If you can't find coconut chips, toasted unsweetened coconut flakes will add a nutty flavor, but you won't get the delightful crunch.
