Corn

Spicy Lemon Crema

Toppings

Method

Preparing the Corn

  1. 1

    Grill the Corn

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Husk the corn and remove all silk. Place the corn on the grill, turning occasionally until the kernels are tender and slightly charred, about 10-15 minutes.

Making Spicy Lemon Crema

  1. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, mix together the sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 3

    Coat the Corn

    Once the corn is grilled, remove it from the grill and let it cool slightly. Using a brush or spoon, generously coat each ear of corn with the spicy lemon crema.

  2. 4

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle the grilled corn with grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, and chopped cilantro. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the corn.
