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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, and kosher salt until well combined.

Step 3

Brush each ear of corn lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the corn directly onto the grill grates.

Step 4

Grill the corn for 12-15 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until the kernels are tender and slightly charred all around.

Step 5

Once removed from the grill, immediately brush each ear of corn generously with the Cajun butter mixture so it melts into the corn.

Step 6

Serve the grilled corn hot with lime wedges on the side for a burst of citrus flavor.
