Recipe Instructions

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.

Step 3

Stir together sugar, salt, black pepper, and cumin in a small dish. Stir into the butter mixture along with lime juice and hot sauce until evenly blended. Brush ears of corn generously with the garlic butter; reserve remaining butter.
