Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 ears Fresh Corn on the Cob Choose husked and silk-free corn for the best flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Can substitute with melted butter for richness.
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun Seasoning Homemade or store-bought for convenience.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Use kosher or sea salt for a fresher taste.
  • 1 lime Lime Wedges Adds a zesty finishing touch.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Husk the corn and remove all silk.
  3. In a bowl, mix the olive oil and Cajun seasoning together.
  4. Brush the corn with the seasoned oil, ensuring all sides are coated.
Grilling
  1. Place the corn directly on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning frequently until the corn is charred and cooked through.
  2. Remove from grill, sprinkle with salt, and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

Serve hot, dressed with lime and cilantro. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days. You can freeze off-the-cob kernels in a freezer-safe bag for later use in soups or casseroles.
