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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (or preheat a grill pan on the stove).
Step 2
Husk the corn and lightly brush each ear with olive oil to prevent sticking during grilling.
Step 3
Place the corn on the grill and cook, turning frequently, for about 10-12 minutes or until the kernels are slightly charred and tender.
Step 4
While the corn grills, prepare the Louisiana butter. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Step 5
Add the Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, honey, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the melted butter. Stir well to combine.
Step 6
Once the butter mixture is fully combined, remove it from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
Step 7
Remove the grilled corn from the grill and place it on a serving platter.
Step 8
Brush each ear generously with the prepared Louisiana butter, ensuring the entire surface is coated.
Step 9
Serve immediately with extra Louisiana butter drizzled on top as desired.
