Ingredients
🌽 4 ears of corn on the cob
🧈 2 tablespoons butter
🧄 2 teaspoons minced garlic
🥛 1 cup heavy cream
🌶️ 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
🧂 1/2 teaspoon paprika
🧀 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
🌿 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1- Prep the Corn:
- Begin by boiling the corn on the cob in a pot of water until it's tender and bright yellow, approximately 5-10 minutes.
- While the corn boils, prepare the sauce.
2- Make the Sauce:
- In a frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter completely.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until it's fragrant but not browned.
3- Combine Creamy Elements:
- Pour the heavy cream into the pan with the garlic and butter.
- Stir well to combine the ingredients and let it heat through.
4- Season the Sauce:
- Sprinkle in the Cajun seasoning, paprika, and Parmesan cheese.
- Mix everything thoroughly until the cheese melts into the cream, and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
5- Add Fresh Herbs:
- Stir in the chopped fresh parsley, reserving a little for garnish.
6- Coat the Corn:
- Once the corn is cooked, remove it from the water and place it into the sauce.
- Use a spoon to ensure the sauce coats all sides of the corn evenly.
7- Serve and Garnish:
- Transfer the coated corn onto a serving platter.
- Garnish with additional chopped parsley and a sprinkle of paprika for extra color and flavor. Serve hot.
