Cajun Corn On The Cob

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Corn

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (or heat a stovetop grill pan).
2. Remove the husks and silks from the corn and rinse them under water.

Step 2: Make the Cajun Butter

1. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and hot sauce (if using).
2. Brush the seasoned butter generously over each ear of corn.

Step 3: Cook the Corn

Grill Method:

• Place the corn directly on the grill grates.
• Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels are slightly charred and tender.

Oven Method:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Wrap each ear of corn in foil and bake for 20 minutes, then unwrap and broil for 2-3 minutes for a charred effect.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy

1. Sprinkle chopped parsley and optional Parmesan cheese over the corn for extra flavor.
2. Serve hot with extra Cajun butter on the side.
