Herbed Corn on the Cob

Submitted by Olha7397

"Use any fresh herb combination in the butter mixture for this smoky grilled corn. By leaving on the husks and wrapped in foil this lets the corn cook in its own juices and makes it taste extra fresh."

Absolutely love this recipe. Great combination of fresh herbs. Sometimes I will use garlic butter vs regular butter w/minced garlic (especially when feeding those not big fans of garlic). I was intrigued by the step of soaking the corn, it seemed to keep the corn moist during cooking. Fabulous recipe, thanks for sharing.
