Ingredients
- 5 ears of corn, shucked OR 2 cans of corn
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (can substitute feta or queso fresco)
- 2 limes, cut into wedges
-
6 big pinches of Fleur de Hell Sea Salt or spicy Chili Lime Sea Salt
- Handful of cilantro, roughly chopped, for garnish
Directions
- If using fresh corn: Preheat an outdoor gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat. Grill corn until hot and lightly charred on all sides, about 5-8 minutes. Make sure to keep rotating every few minutes to avoid burning.
- In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise and Sriracha. Set aside. In a shallow baking dish, add the melted butter.Roll the cooked corn ears in melted butter, then spread evenly with the mayonnaise mixture. Sprinkle each ear of corn generously with cheese, squeeze fresh lime juice on top, and garnish with cilantro leaves.
- If using canned corn: In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise and Sriracha. Set aside. Heat the corn gently in a medium sauce pan for 4 minutes, then add the melted butter. Mix in the mayonnaise mixture. Sprinkle with cheese, squeeze fresh lime juice on top, and garnish with cilantro leaves. Portion out into individual ramekins or small bowls.
- To finish either dish, sprinkle Fleur de Hell Sea Salt or spicy Chili Lime Sea Salt and enjoy!
