Ingredients

6 ears Corn on the Cob Sweet corn is best but any fresh corn will work
3 tbsp Butter Sliced into 6 pats of butter
6 tsp Creole seasoning Slap Ya Mama is our favorite. Tony Chachere is another good one.

Instructions

Preparing Spicy Corn on the Cob

Remove husks and silk from all ears of corn.
*Rub one pat of butter all over each ear of corn.
Evenly sprinkle one teaspoon of creole seasoning on each ear.
Wrap each ear completely in one sheet of foil (large enough to completely enclose the corn), twisting the ends of the foil.

Grilling Corn on the Cob in Foil

Place packets on the top rack over medium heat on a gas or charcoal grill for 15 minutes, rotating 2-3 times. Corn should receive indirect heat. Keep sides of grill rack pulled up to retain heat. (You can grill meat on the lower rack at the same time, if desired.)

Making Oven Roasted Corn on the Cob in Foil (Alternate Method)

Place packets of corn in a single line on an ungreased cookie sheet with rims. Bake for 15 minutes in a pre-heated 350 oven.
When serving the corn from the grill or the oven, be careful while opening as steam will be intense and corn will be hot.

Notes

*An alternate preparation method is to soften butter a bit and mix the seasonings with the butter first. Then, spread one tablespoons of seasoned butter onto the corn before wrapping in foil.
