Cheesy Garlic Butter Corn on the Cob:
- 4 ears of corn (husked and cleaned)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Instructions
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Grill the Corn: Brush each ear of corn generously with the garlic butter mixture. Grill for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and tender.
- Add Toppings: Remove from the grill and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Garnish with chopped parsley and a dash of paprika if desired.
- Serve: Serve hot with lime wedges on the side.
