- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika, optional
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish, optional

Pull back the husks of each ear of corn, but do not remove them. Remove all the silk from the corn kernels. You can use a damp paper towel to help with this. Once clean, pull the husks back up to cover the corn.

Soak the husked corn in a large bowl of cold water for at least 10 minutes. This helps prevent the husks from burning and steams the corn as it grills.

Grill the corn for 15-20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, until the husks are charred and the corn kernels are tender. The husks will protect the corn from direct flame and help steam it.
