That's where Louisiana street corn comes in. This spicy, savory, and slightly sweet dish is the perfect way to add some Cajun flair to your summer BBQ. Here's everything you need to know to make your own Louisiana street corn Walk On's style.
Ingredients
The first step to making Louisiana street corn is, of course, to gather your ingredients. Here's what you'll need:
- 6 ears of fresh corn on the cob, husked
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup crumbled Cotija cheese
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lime wedges for serving
Before we get started, a quick note on the ingredients. You'll notice that this recipe calls for both mayonnaise and sour cream. If you're not a fan of mayo, don't worry - the sour cream helps to balance out the flavor and keep the sauce from being too rich or heavy.
Grilling the Corn
Now that you've got your ingredients together, it's time to start grilling the corn. Brush each ear of corn with a little bit of olive oil, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Place the ears of corn on a hot grill or grill pan, and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels are charred and tender. Remove the corn from the grill and let it cool for a few minutes.
Making the Sauce
While the corn is cooling, it's time to mix up the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, cilantro, Cotija cheese, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt and pepper to taste. Stir until everything is well combined and you have a smooth, creamy sauce.
Assembling the Final Dish
Now for the fun part - assembling the dish! Take each ear of corn and brush it generously with the sauce, making sure to coat all sides. Sprinkle a little extra Cotija cheese and cilantro on top for garnish, if desired. Serve your Louisiana street corn with lime wedges on the side - this will add a bright, zesty flavor that complements the smoky, spicy sauce perfectly.
Conclusion
And there you have it - a recipe for Louisiana street corn that will wow your taste buds and impress your guests. This dish is perfect for summer BBQs, picnics, or any time you want to add a little Cajun kick to your meal. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
