Ingredients

3/4 cups Butter softened
1 1/2 tablespoons Minced parsley
1 1/2 tablespoons Lemon juice
1/4 teaspoons Freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoons Salt and pepper
1 Dash of tabasco
1 Dash of worcestershire sauce

Directions

1
Preheat your broiler to high or prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
2
In a small bowl, combine softened butter, minced parsley, lemon juice, nutmeg, salt, pepper, Tabasco, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until smooth and well-blended.
3
If using fresh corn on the cob, peel back the husks and remove the silk, leaving the husks attached if possible for wrapping, or remove completely.
4
Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of the herb butter mixture evenly over each ear of corn.
5
Wrap each buttered ear of corn tightly in aluminum foil to trap steam and flavor.
6
Place the wrapped corn on the broiler pan (set 4 inches from the heat source) or directly on the grill grates.
7
Roast or grill for 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
8
Carefully unwrap the foil, allowing steam to escape.
9
Spread the remaining herb butter over the hot corn for extra richness.
10
Serve immediately while warm.
