Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat a grill to 350°F (175°C).
-
Step 2.
In a small bowl, melt 3 tablespoons salted butter. Brush the melted butter all over 6 ears of corn (husks and silk removed). Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning and 1 teaspoon coarse black pepper.
-
Step 3.
Wrap each ear of corn tightly in aluminum foil. Place the wrapped corn on the preheated grill, close the lid, and grill until the corn is tender, about 25 minutes.
-
Step 4.
While the corn grills, in a small bowl, stir together 1 cup Mexican crema, ½ cup mayonnaise, and 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice until well combined. Set aside.
-
Step 5.
Once the corn is tender, carefully unwrap the foil. Brush the crema mixture generously onto each ear of corn. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning, ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese, ¼ cup finely chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, and ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.
