Grilled Cajun Corn offers a mouthwatering blend of spices and butter that makes every bite exceptional. With simple prep and fresh ingredients like corn and parmesan, it’s a delightful side dish or a quick dinner option everyone will love.

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ears fresh corn on the cob husks on
  • 4 tbsp butter room temperature
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp dried thyme
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
  • 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Soak the ears of corn (husks on) in a large bowl of water for at least 30 minutes, weighing them down if necessary.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with the paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, kosher salt, onion powder, dried thyme, and cayenne pepper until well combined.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium heat, around 350°-375°F.
  4. Gently pull back the husks of the corn but do not remove them. Discard the silk from each ear of corn.
  5. Evenly rub about 1 tablespoon of the Cajun butter mixture over each ear's kernels.
  6. Return the husks back into position and tie them closed with string.
  7. Place the corn on the grill and cook for 25-30 minutes, turning every 5-6 minutes. (It’s normal for the husks to become brown and burnt.)
  8. Once cooked, remove the corn from the grill and let it cool slightly.
  9. Carefully pull back the husks and discard them.
  10. Before serving, sprinkle parmesan cheese and chopped green onions on top.

Notes

Ensure the corn is submerged in water during soaking for even cooking.
For a spicier kick, adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to taste.
