Using the recipes above, I decided to construct my own recipe:

Grilled Corn on the Cob

Corn on the Cob

Butter

Salt

Garlic Powder

Ground Red Pepper

Split corn husks back, careful not to remove. Remove corn silk and replace corn husks. Soak in cold water for at least 30 minutes. Open the corn husks and heavily butter the corn. Season corn with a light dusting of salt, garlic powder, and red pepper. Replace corn husks and place on grill at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, rotate corn midway through cooking. Remove husks and enjoy!
