Here’s a simple, flavorful way to make it:
Ingredients (for 4 ears of corn)
- 4 ears of corn, husked
- 4 tablespoons butter (softened)
- 1–2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Lime wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or oven:
- Grill: medium-high heat
- Oven: 400°F (200°C), lined baking sheet
- Prepare the butter mixture:
In a small bowl, mix softened butter with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined. - Coat the corn:
Spread the Cajun butter evenly over each ear of corn. Make sure to get it into the crevices of the kernels. - Cook the corn:
- Grill method: Wrap each ear in foil and grill for 15–20 minutes, turning occasionally. For extra char, unwrap the corn in the last 5 minutes.
- Oven method: Wrap in foil and bake for 20–25 minutes, turning halfway through.
- Serve:
Unwrap and add an extra pat of butter if desired. Serve with lime wedges for a zesty kick.
✅ Tip: For extra flavor, sprinkle a little more Cajun seasoning after cooking, and don’t be shy with the butter—it’s part of the Cajun magic!
