Ingredients
- 4 ears of fresh corn on the cob (or about 4 cups of canned or frozen corn)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Remove husks and silk from fresh corn; cut each cob into halves or thirds. If using canned or frozen corn, drain and thaw.
- Choose a cooking method: grill corn over medium-high heat for 10–12 minutes, roast at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes with olive oil, or boil in salted water for 5–7 minutes.
- While the corn cooks, mix melted butter with Cajun seasoning in a small bowl and adjust to taste.
- Transfer cooked corn to a bowl, pour Cajun butter over it, and toss to coat evenly.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and a squeeze of lime before serving.
Notes
- Use canned or frozen corn when fresh isn’t available.
- Swap butter with olive oil or vegan butter for a dairy-free version.
- Adjust Cajun seasoning for preferred spice level.
- Add grated Parmesan or feta for a cheesy finish.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in a skillet or microwave with a bit of butter or oil.
