Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400–425°F / 205–220°C). Clean and oil the grates.
Mix softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
Pat the corn dry. Lightly brush each ear with olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Place the corn on the hot grill. Cook with the lid closed, turning every 2–3 minutes so it chars lightly on all sides.
After the first turn, brush some garlic butter over the warm corn so it melts in as it cooks.
Grill for 10–12 minutes total, turning often, until kernels are tender, bright, and lightly charred.
Remove from the grill. Slather with more garlic butter, then finish with herbs, Parmesan, chili flakes, or a squeeze of lemon or lime. Serve hot.

For extra flavor, baste the corn more than once during grilling. If using foil-wrapped corn, grill for 12–15 minutes, turning halfway.
