Cooking Instructions:

In a small bowl, cream the butter using a fork or electric mixer. Gradually mix in the remaining ingredients (except the corn) until well combined.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the corn directly on the grates, turning often, until lightly charred on all sides, about 6 to 8 minutes.

Brush the grilled corn with the compound butter, or cut the kernels off the cob and toss with about 6 tablespoons of the compound butter before serving.

Storage Tips

Store leftover Mexican corn butter in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze the compound butter for up to 1 month.

Let it thaw in the fridge before using so it spreads more easily on warm corn. You can make the butter ahead and keep it chilled until you are ready to grill and serve.
