PepperMary's Cajun Blend

Fresh Corn on the Cob with Husks On

Butter

Prepare your sweet corn to your liking. For a quick method, cook corn with husks on in the microwave for 3 minutes per ear. They will be very hot to handle, but will stay hot for 15 minutes in the microwave.

Coat the corn with butter and sprinkle with PepperMary Cajun Blend to taste. This brings out the sweetness of the corn and adds the heat of the Cajun Blend. One of PepperMary's favorite recipes. Enjoy!
