Ingredients

4 ears of fresh corn, husked and cleaned

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for spice preference)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

Prepare the Corn: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the husked corn and blanch for about 5 minutes to slightly soften. Remove from the water and let them cool.

Make the Seasoning Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until well mixed.

Coat the Corn: Once the corn is cool enough to handle, brush each ear generously with the seasoned butter mixture, ensuring it's well coated.

Grill the Corn: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the coated corn directly on the grill. Grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is nicely charred and tender.

Add Cheese: Just before removing the corn from the grill, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over each ear, allowing it to melt slightly into the crevices.

Serve and Garnish: Once grilled to perfection, take the corn off the grill and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with lime wedges for a zesty finish.
