8 ears fresh corn, in husks
4 tablespoons butter or creme fraîche
Juice of 1 lime
1 clove garlic (crushed)
1 teaspoon ground chili powder
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
Sea salt, to taste
Fresh Cheyenne pepper, to taste
Garnish: lime wedges

Steps:

1. Soak corn in cold water for 10 to 15 minutes. Melt butter over medium heat; stir in lime juice, crushed garlic, chili powder, and red pepper. Or add to creme fraîche. 2. Remove corn from water, and gently pull back husks; remove silks. Brush corn with butter mixture. Pull back husks over kernels, twisting tops to secure husks. Grill corn, uncovered, at medium-high 25 to 30 minutes, turning several times to cook evenly on all sides. (The outside of corn husks will be charred.) To serve, pull back husks and tie together with a piece of the husk to form a handle for the corn. Season with sea salt and black pepper; serve hot. Garnish, if desired.
