Steps
Heat grill over high until hot.
If you want a bit of a char on the corn, pull back a few of the husks on each ear of corn. Place the corn directly on the grill, cover, and grill for 15 to 20 minutes or until the husks are charred on all sides, rotating occasionally. Remove and let cool until they can safely be handled.
Remove the husks and silk from each ear of corn. You can either discard the husks completely or fold them back to use as handles.
Use a pastry brush or your hands to spread the coconut oil over each ear of corn. Place the corn on a serving platter, sprinkle with the smoked paprika, spritz with the fresh lime juice, sprinkle with cilantro, and season with sea salt and black pepper. Serve.

Lise on 2015-06-24 (5 stars): This sounds fantastic! We grill corn all the time and just eat it the "old fashioned" way with butter and salt and love it, your recipe will definitely make it even better. One suggestion I would share is that we always soak the the corn with the husks on for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This allows it to steam/roast and infuse the earthy husk flavor into the corn before the husks eventually dry out and darken. This way there are less black bits of husk to get off that delicious corn. You can infuse the water too, I use a bit of lime juice but anything can be added. I'm glad you enjoyed grilling! Just think of all the great things you'll make in the future.
Kennedy Cole on 2015-06-11 (5 stars): If there's anything better than grilled corn, then I have not yet seen it.
I love corn grilled, roasted, steamed, or sautéed. So basically, I love corn in any form!
I'll have to save this recipe to my summer grilling list!
I recently made a cooking and baking blog, too.

Celeste Jackson on 2015-06-10 (5 stars): You're a better woman than I am. I've yet to grill anything in all my years of cooking. Looks great and love the cilantro and lime! and love that you don't have to soak it like we always have.
