Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 4 ears/cobs of corn
- Olive oil, to taste
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Cajun seasoning, to taste (adjust salt accordingly if seasoning is salty)
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your BBQ or grill to high heat to ensure the corn cooks evenly and develops a nice char.
- Prepare the Corn: Remove the husks and silk from each ear of corn completely, cleaning them for grilling.
- Season the Corn: Brush each ear with olive oil, then sprinkle Cajun seasoning evenly over them. Add salt and pepper based on your seasoning’s saltiness.
- Adjust Grill Heat: Turn down the burners where the corn will be placed to medium heat to prevent burning, while keeping other burners on high to maintain interior temperature (skip this step if using a smaller or charcoal grill).
- Grill the Corn: Place the corn on the grill and cook for about 13-15 minutes, turning the cobs 4-5 times with tongs to ensure they cook evenly and get char marks.
- Serve: Let the grilled corn cool slightly, then serve as whole cobs or cut the kernels off the cob for serving.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to your taste, especially with regard to salt content.
- Use tongs to turn the corn safely and evenly on the grill.
- Grilled corn can be served whole or as kernels removed from the cob.
- For best flavor, use fresh corn and grill immediately after husking.
- If you don’t have a gas grill, charcoal grills can be used but watch heat carefully.
