Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears corn on the cob, husks removed
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 pieces lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F). Clean the grates and lightly oil them with a paper towel dipped in a bit of olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, and kosher salt until well combined.
Brush each ear of corn lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the corn directly onto the grill grates.
Grill the corn for 12-15 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until the kernels are tender and slightly charred all around.
Once removed from the grill, immediately brush each ear of corn generously with the Cajun butter mixture so it melts into the corn.
Serve the grilled corn hot with lime wedges on the side for a burst of citrus flavor.
