Main Ingredients

4 ears fresh corn, cut into thirds Sweet, juicy corn is the star of this dish.
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning Adds a kick of heat and depth of flavor.
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted Adds richness and a wonderful buttery finish.
1 tablespoon olive oil Prevent the butter from burning and adds flavor.
1 teaspoon garlic powder Enhances the savory taste.
to taste optional Salt Essential to balance and amplify flavors.
to taste optional Fresh chopped parsley For a pop of color and fresh flavor.
as needed Oil for frying (vegetable or canola) Key to achieving crispy texture.

Preparation

Shuck the corn and cut each ear into thirds. Remove all corn silks and pat each piece dry with a paper towel.

Cooking

In a large pot or deep fryer, heat oil to 350°F.
In a small bowl, mix the Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Set this blend aside.
Carefully lower the corn pieces into the hot oil and fry for 4–5 minutes until golden and crispy.
Remove the corn pieces and place them on a paper towel-lined tray to drain any excess oil.
While the corn is still hot, toss it with melted butter and the Cajun spice mix until evenly coated.

Garnishing

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm alongside ranch dressing or spicy mayo for dipping.

Don’t overcrowd the pot while frying; monitor oil temperature closely for best results.
