Grilled corn with coconut lime butter and pepper jack cheese Recipe

I usually grill corn with the stalks on to help steam the corn but I’ve been having this Mexican style grilled corn at the Taco Shack down the street and they grill the kernels directly over the flame. I was inspired to try the corn this way and it turned out great- nice and charred and smokey, and full of buttery flavor from basting it during the cooking process.

As for the butter- well, it doesn’t get any better than coconut plus lime juice with a little sea salt added in. I generously basted the corn with butter during the grill process and finished the ears of corn with grated pepper jack cheese.

In life, sometimes the simplest things are the best and that is true for this recipe!
