Description

A flavorful and easy-to-make corn on the cob dish with Cajun seasoning and creamy sauce, perfect for summer BBQs or family gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 6 ears of fresh corn on the cob, husked
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 lime cut into wedges


Instructions

  1. Start by husking the corn and removing any silk. Rinse the ears under cold water.
  2. Preheat your grill over medium-high heat. Brush the corn with melted butter and season with salt and black pepper.
  3. Place the corn directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and slightly charred.
  4. While the corn grills, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Cajun seasoning, lime juice, smoked paprika, and a little salt and pepper in a bowl until smooth.
  5. Remove the corn from the grill and spread the creamy mixture over each ear.
  6. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top, followed by chopped fresh parsley.
  7. Serve with lime wedges for a zesty touch.

Notes

For the best flavor, use fresh corn. You can substitute Greek yogurt for a tangy twist or use smoked gouda instead of Parmesan for a different flavor profile.
