Ingredients

8
ears corn
1/2 cup
(1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups
flat-leaf parsley leaves
2 Tbsp.
grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
1
small clove garlic, grated
1 tsp.
lemon zest plus 2 teaspoons lemon juice
Kosher salt and pepper
Cracked pepper, for serving

Directions

1. Step 1Pull most of outer husks of corn down to expose kernels, then remove silk. Pull husks back up to cover kernels, transfer to large bowl or roasting pan, cover with cold water and soak 30 minutes.
2. Step 2Meanwhile, in food processor, puree butter, parsley, Parmesan, garlic, lemon zest and juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and
  1/4 teaspoon pepper until smooth. Set aside.
3. Step 3Heat grill to medium-high. Pat corn very dry and grill, turning occasionally, until charred on all sides and corn is tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to cutting board and let sit until cool enough to handle, then pull down husks, exposing kernels.
4. Step 4Return to grill and cook until slightly charred, about 5 minutes. Transfer back to cutting board. Serve with butter as well as a sprinkling of Parmesan and cracked pepper if desired.
