Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh corn on the cob. If you're using frozen corn, thaw it before cooking.
  • Be sure to cook the corn over medium heat. If you cook it over too high heat, it will burn.
  • If you're using a cast iron skillet, preheat it over medium heat for 5 minutes before adding the corn. This will help to prevent the corn from sticking.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you add too much corn, it will not cook evenly.
  • Season the corn with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, chili powder, or paprika.
  • Cook the corn for 10-12 minutes, or until it is tender and slightly browned.
  • Serve the corn immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, sour cream, or cheese.

Conclusion:

Cajun smothered corn is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up fresh corn on the cob, and it can also be made with frozen corn. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table, and it is a great way to add some Cajun flavor to your next meal.
