Ingredients

4 cups corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Optional: grated Parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the corn. If using fresh corn, remove the kernels from the cob. If using frozen corn, thaw it in the microwave or on the stovetop. If using canned corn, drain and rinse it.
Step 2: Cook the Cajun corn. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the corn and stir to coat.
Step 3: Season the corn by sprinkling Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
Step 4: Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through and slightly caramelized.
Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley. Optionally, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve warm as a side dish or snack.

Tips & Variations

Adjust the spiciness by modifying the amount of Cajun seasoning and cayenne pepper according to your preference.
Add diced bell peppers or jalapeños for extra flavor and nutrition.
For a creamier texture, stir in a splash of heavy cream or cream cheese at the end of cooking.

Storage

Store any leftover Cajun Corn in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving to maintain its flavor and texture.
