Ingredients
  

For the Corn
  • 4 cobs Corn-on-the-cob Fresh corn is ideal for maximum sweetness and texture; frozen might alter the experience.
For the Seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning This blend adds a spicy depth; use chili powder as a substitute for a milder flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika Infuses a distinct smokiness; regular paprika can work if needed but won't provide that signature flavor.
For Serving
  • 4 wedges Lime A squeeze adds zesty brightness and enhances the overall flavor of the smoky barbecued corn.

Equipment

  • Grill
  • Tongs
  • Kitchen towel

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your grill or griddle pan over high heat for about 10 minutes, aiming for a temperature around 450°F (230°C).
  2. Shuck the corn-on-the-cob, removing both husks and silk. Rinse the cobs under cool water, pat dry with a kitchen towel.
  3. Place the prepared corn-on-the-cob directly onto the preheated grill. Grill for 10 minutes, turning occasionally for even charring.
  4. Remove the grilled corn and immediately sprinkle generously with Cajun seasoning and smoked paprika.
  5. Serve hot, arranged on a platter alongside lime wedges. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the corn before enjoying.
