Cajun Corn on the Cob

Ingredients:

• 4 ears of corn, husks and silk removed
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. While the skillet heats up, prepare the corn by cutting each ear in half, resulting in 8 smaller pieces.
3. In a small bowl, combine the Cajun seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
4. Once the skillet is hot, add the butter and let it melt, ensuring it coats the bottom of the skillet evenly.
5. Arrange the corn pieces in a single layer in the skillet. Cook them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are lightly charred and cooked through.
6. Evenly sprinkle the Cajun seasoning mixture over the corn, turning the pieces to coat them thoroughly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the seasoning to lightly toast.
7. Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the corn with fresh chopped parsley.

Serve the Cajun corn on the cob immediately while it’s still hot. Enjoy!
