Cajun Corn On The Cob Recipe
Ingredients:
- 6 ears of fresh corn, husked
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Corn:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F).
- If you’re using an oven, preheat it to 400°F.
- Make the Cajun Butter:
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Season the Corn:
- Brush each ear of corn generously with the Cajun butter mixture, making sure to coat all sides.
- Grill the Corn:
- Place the seasoned corn directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes to ensure even cooking and char marks. The corn is ready when it’s tender and has a slight char.
Alternative Oven Method:
- Place the seasoned corn on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through the cooking time.
- Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the corn from the grill or oven. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, you can add a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the amount of Cajun seasoning or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the Cajun butter mixture.
Enjoy your delicious Cajun Corn On The Cob!
