Method

Heat the barbecue or a griddle pan until smoking. Meanwhile, cook the corn in a large pan of boiling water for 5 mins. Drain and set aside.
Brush the corn with olive oil and barbecue or griddle for 12 mins, turning every 3 mins, or until cooked and slightly charred.
Meanwhile, mix the softened butter, basil, 3 tbsp cheese and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Transfer the corn to a platter, season, then serve with a generous spoonful of basil butter and an extra sprinkling of cheese.

Get ahead: Make the flavoured butter up to 3 days ahead. You can blanch the corn the day before. Keep covered in the fridge until ready to barbecue or griddle.
