Grilled Sweet Corn with Zesty Aioli

Ingredients

Corn

6-8 large ears of corn

Smoked paprika

1 lime

Extra virgin olive oil

Aioli

1 large egg yolk

1 small garlic clove, finely grated

¼ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more

½ cup good-quality extra virgin olive oil

Pinch cayenne pepper

Fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons Sriracha hot sauce

Freshly ground pepper

Instructions

In a food processor, combine egg yolk, garlic and salt. Blend until smooth.

With motor running, add oil until consistency begins to look like thick mayonnaise.

Transfer to a bowl. Season with cayenne, lemon juice, Sriracha and pepper.

Cover bowl and refrigerate until ready to use. 

Pre-heat grill.

Place corn in a bowl of cold water for 10 minutes to help prevent burning on the grill.

Place unhusked corn directly on grill for about 7-8 minutes. Close lid. Rotate half way through for even cooking. Take corn off grill and remove husks.

Drizzle corn with oil and place back on grill. Continue to rotate corn until golden brown on all sides. Remove corn from grill when golden brown.

Take aioli sauce out of fridge and brush onto all sides of corn. Sprinkle with smoked paprika and squeeze lime on corn. Enjoy!
