Mexican street corn is one of my favorite ways to eat corn but I wanted to try something different. I came up with this Cajun version by replacing lime with lemon, chili powder with Old Bay®, cotija with Parmesan, and cilantro with parsley.

CORN ON THE COB WITH OLD BAY AND LEMON
If you've had the pleasure of eating your way through a bucket of Maryland blue crabs poured out onto newspaper, you've probably had Old Bay seasoning. It's a blend of celery salt, black pepper, crushed red-pepper flakes and paprika, and any member of its fiercely loyal Mid-Atlantic fan base will tell you that it should be present at any proper crab or shrimp boil. In this recipe, you get lots of that seaside flavor without having to source fresh blue crab.

CORN ON THE COB ( COOKED IN THE OLD WAYS)
This corn has more flavor then any corn on the cob you will ever taste--boiled in its own husk keeps in the flavor. This how it was done in my great-great grandmothers' day.

Steps:

- Place the unshucked corn in the boiling water.
- Boil for 10 minutes.
- Shuck corn and serve with butter and salt.
Tips:
- Choose fresh corn: Look for bright green husks that are tightly wrapped around the corn. The silks should be brown and slightly sticky.
- Remove the husks and silks: Peel back the husks and remove the silks. Be careful not to cut the kernels.
- Soak the corn: Soaking the corn in water for 30 minutes before cooking will help it to cook more evenly.
- Cook the corn over medium heat: Boiling the corn over high heat can make it tough. Instead, cook it over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the kernels are tender.
- Season the corn: Add salt, pepper, and butter to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder.
- Serve the corn hot: Corn on the cob is best served hot. You can eat it plain, or with a variety of toppings, such as melted butter, sour cream, or salsa.
