Ingredients:
- 4 ears of corn, husked
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise (I used vegan mayo)
- ⅓ cup sour cream or Mexican crema
- 1 ½ teaspoons Cajun spice
- 1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
- ½ cup feta or cotija cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chipotle or chili powder (optional, for extra heat)
How to Make Cajun Corn On The Cob:
- Prepare the Corn:
Start by husking the corn. Remove the outer leaves and silk strands from the corn cob. Rinse them off if necessary to get rid of any leftover silk. - Preheat the Grill or Boil the Corn:
- If grilling: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Brush the corn with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- If boiling: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and cook the corn for about 7-10 minutes until tender.
- Make the Cajun Mayo Sauce:
In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream (or Mexican crema), Cajun spice, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and lime juice. Stir until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. If you like extra heat, add the chipotle or chili powder to the sauce for that smoky kick. - Grill or Boil the Corn:
- For grilling: Place the oiled and seasoned corn directly on the grill. Grill for about 10-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until the corn is charred and tender.
- For boiling: After the corn is done boiling, remove it from the pot and allow it to cool slightly.
- Coat with the Cajun Sauce:
Once the corn is cooked, take each ear and slather it generously with the Cajun mayo sauce. Be sure to coat all sides evenly. - Add Toppings:
Sprinkle the crumbled feta or cotija cheese over the corn, making sure it sticks to the sauce. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, and give it a final squeeze of lime juice for an extra burst of flavor. - Serve and Enjoy:
Your Cajun Corn on the Cob is now ready to serve! This dish pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, seafood, or even as a stand-alone snack. Enjoy!see continuation on next page
