There's one side dish that makes every summertime meal better: corn on the cob. Do us a favor, though. Instead of boiling the ears and then dousing them with butter and salt, make this recipe for grilled corn drizzled with spicy aioli. It's an easy--and absolutely delicious--upgrade.

Ingredients

1 garlic clove, very finely minced

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

4 tablespoons butter, at room temperature

6 ears of corn, husks pulled back or removed

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

2. Make the Spicy Aioli: In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise with the garlic, paprika and Sriracha to combine. Set aside.

1. Make the Grilled Corn: In a small bowl, mix the butter with the lime zest, coriander and garlic powder to combine. Brush each ear of corn with about 2 teaspoons of the butter mixture.

5. Serve the corn warm, drizzled with the spicy aioli to taste.
