2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon lime zest
1 tablespoon lime juice
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
2. Mix softened butter with parsley, cilantro, chives, garlic, lime zest, lime juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Spread or brush a thin layer of herb butter over each ear of corn.
4. Wrap each ear loosely in foil.

Grill with foil first for even cooking, then unwrap for grill marks.
Prepare extra herb butter to serve alongside the grilled corn.
