Ingredients
- 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
- Using a large bowl, soak the ears of corn (husks on) for at least 30 minutes. (Note: If needed, use cans from pantry to weigh the corn down so it stays submerged.)
- Using a small bowl, combine the softened butter and seasonings; stir until well combined.
- Preheat grill to medium heat (~350°-375°F).
- Pull the husks back on each ear of corn, but do not entirely remove husks. Remove and discard silk from each ear.
- Rub ~1 Tbsp of Cajun butter mixture evenly over kernels of each ear.
- Pull the husks back into place and tie closed with string.
- Grill the corn for 25-30 minutes, turning every ~5-6 minutes. (Note: The husks will turn brown and burnt, but that’s ok!)
- Remove corn from grill and allow ears to cool slightly.
- Pull back husks from each ear and discard.
- Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and green onions on top of corn before serving.
