  • Total 0 min
  • Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 2 or 3 drops red pepper sauce
  • 6 ears corn with husks

Steps

  • 1
    Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Mix butter, Cajun seasoning and pepper sauce. Reserve 1 tablespoon butter mixture.
  • 2
    Carefully pull back husks of each ear of corn; remove silk. Generously brush butter mixture over corn. Pull husks back over ears; tie husks securely with thin piece of husk or string.
  • 3
    Cover and grill corn 4 to 6 inches from medium heat 20 to 26 minutes, turning frequently, until tender. Remove husks. Brush corn with reserved 1 tablespoon butter.

  • Use corn at its very freshest for maximum sweetness and juiciness. Fresh-picked corn with plump kernels will give you the best Cajun corn! If the corn isn't just-picked, soak it in cold water to help tenderize it and prevent the husks from burning. As little as 15 minutes helps, or it can be soaked up to 2 hours.
  • The most popular red pepper sauce is made in Louisiana-Cajun country! For those who have a hankering for hot, sprinkle corn with a couple drops of red pepper sauce after grilling.
