Grilled corn with spicy lime butter embodies Brazilian passion for bold flavors. Inspired by street food, it combines the sweetness of roasted corn with the zesty aroma of lime and smoky heat from chipotle peppers. This recipe is perfect for summer evenings by the grill when you crave something light yet flavorful. The foil-roasted corn stays juicy while the lime-infused butter melts, soaking the kernels in fresh citrus and spicy notes. The dish can be a great side to meat or a standalone snack served with chilled drinks. Its simplicity makes it ideal for friendly gatherings, while its rich flavors leave a lasting impression.
