Shuck the corn and place each ear on a large piece of heavy-duty foil.
Brush each piece of sweet corn with one tablespoon of softened butter, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper, if desired.
Wrap the foil around the corn and place on the preheated grill. Grill for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, or until the corn is tender.

Notes
One: Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container or storage bag in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Two: Lemon Pepper
Add two teaspoons of lemon pepper seasoning to the butter instead of the salt and pepper.
Three: Coconut
Stir the cream from a can of unsweetened coconut milk into the coconut milk. Brush coconut milk onto the corn and sprinkle it with brown sugar and salt. Grill as directed. Brush with additional coconut milk and serve with toasted coconut and lime wedges.
Four: Spicy
Add 1/2 teaspoon garlic butter, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper to the seasoned butter.
