Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (or preheat a grill pan on the stove).
Husk the corn and lightly brush each ear with olive oil to prevent sticking during grilling.
Place the corn on the grill and cook, turning frequently, for about 10-12 minutes or until the kernels are slightly charred and tender.
While the corn grills, prepare the Louisiana butter. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Add the Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, honey, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the melted butter. Stir well to combine.
Once the butter mixture is fully combined, remove it from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
Remove the grilled corn from the grill and place it on a serving platter.
Brush each ear generously with the prepared Louisiana butter, ensuring the entire surface is coated.
Serve immediately with extra Louisiana butter drizzled on top as desired.
