- CAJUN BUTTER
- 1 lb butter, softened
- 3 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt (or to taste)
- 2 teaspoons crushed hot red pepper flakes (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- Carefully remove the "silks" from the cornhusks (keeping the husks intact).
- Place the corn cobs with the silks removed in a large pot of COLD water (the corn should be completely covered with the cold water).
- Soak the corn for 1 hour.
- In the meantime prepare the cajun butter, by mixing all of the cajun butter ingredients together, adjusting ingredients to taste).
- Remove the corn from the water and shake off any excess moisture.
- Pull husks back gently.
- Smear the butter (with your hands) over all sides of the corn.
- Pull the husks back over to cover corn.
- Place the corn on a baking tray large enough to hold the cobs.
- Preheat only ONE SIDE of the barbecue to 275 degrees or to low temperature.
- Leave the other side of the grill off.
- Place the corn on the tray onto the side of the grill that has NO heat.
- Close lid, and cook the corn for about 30 minutes (the corn kernels will turn a bright yellow colour, and the butter will be fully absorbed into the flesh of the corn).
- Remove from the grill and serve immediately.
