Ingredients
- 4 pieces fresh corn on the cob
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces lime wedges (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Shuck the corn, removing the husks and silks, and rinse the cobs under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter, allowing the butter to melt completely.
Step 4
Place the corn into the skillet or onto the grill pan. Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes to ensure even cooking and a slight char on all sides.
Step 5
While the corn cooks, brush the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over the cobs, ensuring they stay coated and moist.
Step 6
Sprinkle the Cajun spice mixture evenly over the corn, turning the cobs as needed to coat them thoroughly in the seasoning.
Step 7
Once the corn is cooked and well-seasoned, remove it from the skillet or grill pan and transfer to a serving plate.
Step 8
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot with lime wedges for an extra hit of citrusy flavor.
