Grilled Cajun Corn on the Cob: A Burst of Flavor

Elevate your summer barbecue with this mouthwatering recipe for Grilled Cajun Corn on the Cob. Bursting with flavor and charred to perfection, it’s the perfect side dish for any outdoor gathering.

Ingredients:

• 8 tablespoons of salted butter
• Fresh corn; approximately 8 ears (husks removed)
• 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning

For the garnish:

• 1/4 cup of Cotija cheese
• 1/4 cup of finely chopped cilantro

Directions:

1. Prepare the grill for high heat, ensuring the temperature reaches around 550 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, taking care not to let it brown. This should take between one to two minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
3. Arrange the corn in the center of a large dish or plate. Reserve two tablespoons of the melted butter for later use. Using a basting brush, coat each ear of corn evenly with the remaining melted butter.
4. Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning evenly over the kernels of corn, ensuring each ear is well seasoned.
5. Using tongs, place each ear of corn directly onto the grill grate in a single layer.
6. Grill the corn for ten to fifteen minutes, turning it every two to three minutes to ensure even cooking and charring on all sides. While grilling, continue to baste the corn with the remaining melted butter.
7. When the corn kernels are tender and have developed a slightly charred crust, they are ready to be removed from the grill.
8. Transfer the grilled corn to a serving plate or platter. Use the reserved melted butter to brush each ear of corn one final time.
9. Serve the Grilled Cajun Corn on the Cob immediately, garnished with crumbled Cotija cheese and freshly chopped cilantro.
10. Any leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days in a sealed container.
