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.
