Description
Cajun Corn on the Cob is a bold, buttery side dish where sweet corn meets spicy Southern seasoning. Perfectly tender ears of corn are brushed with Cajun-spiced butter for a smoky, savory kick that’s great for cookouts or quick dinners.
Ingredients
- 4 ears of corn
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- Salt to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the ears of corn and cook for 5–7 minutes until tender.
- While the corn cooks, melt the butter and stir in Cajun seasoning.
- Remove the corn from the pot and let cool slightly.
- Brush each ear generously with Cajun butter, coating every kernel.
- Sprinkle with salt and garnish with parsley if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
- For a smoky twist, grill the corn instead of boiling it.
- Add Parmesan to the butter for a cheesy version.
- Use lime juice for a zesty Cajun-lime variation.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat wrapped in foil or in the microwave.
