Place the corn cobs in a pan and cover with cold water
Leave the corn to soak for 10 minutes
Light your BBQ or grill and turn onto the highest setting
Take the scallions, garlic and chili peppers and coat them with olive oil and add seasoning
Place the scallions, garlic and chili on the char grill and cook till starting to blacken around the edges
When starting to blacken turn them over and cook for a further 2-3 minutes
Remove from the grill and place in a small bowl, cover the bowl with a lid and leave to steam
After 10 minutes remove the lid and place the bowl in the fridge to cool down
Once the scallions are cold place on a chopping board and chop to form a rough paste
Place the paste back into the bowl and add to it the butter
Add to the bowl the washed and chopped cilantro and the lime juice
Mix well and season to taste
10 minutes before serving time place the corn cobs onto the BBQ
Cook over a high heat so that the outer leaves begin to char
Turn as many times as needed so that the corn is colored evenly all over
Once cooked remove from the BBQ and serve immediately
To serve tear away a strip on the husk approximately an inch wide
Add the butter generously along the revealed corn
The butter will melt and surround the corn with the seasoned butter
