Cilantro Lime Butter




I got this recipe from a friend from MI.

Thanks soooo much Deb for sharing this!

She told me she doesn't just use butter anymore for her corn on the cob, but she uses the cilantro lime butter. She thought I could use it the in place of just the butter and salt and pepper when I grill the corn.

So I tried it the other nite and it was good! I am also thinking a little extra to put on after I've grilled it would be pretty tasty too!

SUPER easy and SUPER good!


Softened butter and lime juice...


add the cilantro and salt


and stir it up!


Take you clean, dry ear of corn and place it on a piece of foil...


Spread that yummy butter mixture ALLLLL over your ear of corn!!!


Wrap it up and get ready to put it on the grill... (we had gymnastics this nite, so I had them ready to go before we left, so the corn sat in that butter and juice for a little over an hour before grilling, yummy!!!)


All done! It was good!
And super easy, did I already say that? ;)


Cilantro Lime Butter

2 Tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature (slightly softened)
2 Tbsp chopped cilantro, packed
1 Tbsp fresh squeezed lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt

Mix and use. Delish!!

*I put my 2 tablespoons butter in the microwave for a few seconds to get it softened.
I also don't think I packed in the cilantro. Not a huge fan of it, but cooking and using it more so am getting to like it better. ;)
I think it took about 4 limes for me to get that much lime juice out...
