A Little Personal History:

You can cook up corn in a variety of ways. My favorite is grilling seasoned corn on cobb in aluminum foil. Here’s how I do it.

Description:

 

Categories: Vegetables
Servings: 8
Time: – Preparation:   10 minutes
– Cooking:        30 minutes
Equipment: Measuring cup and spoon, large skillet, basting brush, bowl, paper towels, aluminum foil, BBQ grill & grilling tongs
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients:

    • 8 ears of corn with husks
    • 1 Tbs Cajun Blast Seasoning
    • 1 cup butter, melted
    • 1/2 cup freshly grated or store bought Parmesan cheese
  • oil (vegetable, olive, canola, etc.) for grill

Procedure:

  1. In large skillet, over medium heat, melt butter. Add Cajun seasoning and saute for 1 minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. After Cajun butter has cooled, whisk in Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
  3. Peel back corn husks and remove silk (see below for tip to easily remove). Brush seasoned butter on each piece of corn. Close husks around corn.
  4. Wrap each ear of corn tightly in aluminum foil.
  5. Preheat outdoor grill on high heat and lightly oil or spray grates.
  6. Place wrapped ears of corn on the prepared grill. Cook 20-30 minutes, turning occasionally with tongs, until corn is tender.

Advanced Preparation:

  • Steps 1 – 4 can be done in advance and refrigerated till ready to grill.

Tips, Notes, and Variations:

  • Instead of butter, substitute olive or Canola oil for a “healthier” seasoning oil.
  • To more easily remove the silk off ears of corn, dampen a paper or kitchen towel and run it across the ear. The towel picks up the silk, and the corn is ready for the grill.
  • If you’d rather just have the Cajun without the cheese, don’t do step 2.
