Ingredients
- 4 ears of fresh corn, husked

- 1/2 cup mayonnaise

How to Make Grilled Corn on the Cob with Creamy Sauce
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Husk the corn and remove all the silk. Brush each ear of corn lightly with olive oil.
- Place the corn directly on the grill grates and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, grated parmesan, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Once the corn is grilled, remove it from the grill and let it cool slightly. Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce generously over each ear of corn.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and chives for a fresh touch. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips for the Best Results
- For extra smoky flavor, soak the corn in water for 30 minutes before grilling. This will help steam the corn while it cooks.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic in the sauce based on your preference.
- If you like a little heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the creamy sauce.
Easy Variations
- Spicy Kick: Add chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the creamy sauce.
- Herbed Delight: Experiment with different herbs like basil or oregano for a unique twist.
- Cheesy Goodness: Try adding crumbled feta or goat cheese to the sauce for a tangy flavor.
What to Serve With It
- Grilled chicken or steak for a hearty meal.
- A fresh summer salad with tomatoes and cucumbers.
- Barbecue ribs for an indulgent feast.
- Tacos or burritos for a fun twist.
Storage and Reheating
Grilled corn is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply place the corn in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or warm it on the grill for a few minutes until heated through.
