Grill it until the husk is brown, a few of the kernels will be browning. Then shuck it, rub a fresh lime on it and sprinkle with some finely ground chipotle chili powder. Way tastier than butter and salt. Learned that one from India, although they shuck the corn and cook directly on the coals .....
Too funny, I posted this yesterday and then Yahoo has this article about corn today ......... They're monitoring me, I just know they are!
Buttered Corn on the Cobb
Butter, corn, they are both equally delicious. If you want the same punch of flavor, use bright spices like paprika, chili powder, and lime to make for a delicious substitute.

The Hack: Blackened Chili Lime Corn, 65 calories
Recipe serves 6
1 teaspoon of paprika
1 teaspoon of chili powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
6 ears of corn
6 lime wedges
In a small mixing bowl, combine your paprika, chili powder, and salt setting it aside.
Remove husks from corn and once clean grill until blackened. If you do not have a grill, you can easily grill and blacken your corn on a gas stovetop.
Once fully cooked, rub each ear of corn with the wedge of lime. Sprinkle about a third of a teaspoon onto each ear of corn and rub again with the wedge of lime to distribute the spices.
