Preheat the grill or oven to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).

If grilling, soak corn in water for 10 minutes to prevent burning (optional).

Step 2: Make Garlic Butter

In a small bowl, combine melted butter and minced garlic.

Add smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper, and mix well.

Step 3: Cook the Corn

Brush corn generously with garlic butter.

Grill corn, turning occasionally, for 10–15 minutes until lightly charred and tender.

If using the oven, place corn on a baking sheet, brush with butter, and roast for 20–25 minutes, turning halfway.

Step 4: Add Cheese & Serve

Sprinkle grated cheese evenly over the hot corn.

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
