If you’ve got the grill going anyway, toss your ears on before you butter them to get a quick char and even deeper flavor.
  • 3/4 stick unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup minced scallions (2 to 3)
  • 1 tablespoon minced seeded canned chipotle chiles in adobo
  • 1/4 teaspoon grated lime zest
  • 6 large ears of corn, shucked and halved
  • Stir together butter, scallions, chipotles, zest, and rounded 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
  • Cook corn in a large pot of boiling water until crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer with tongs to butter mixture and toss.
