We’re just getting into the swing of summer and it’s been getting hot in here. Mid-June in south Louisiana, the air starts getting that thick & sticky quality to it. Having a cool escape from the swamp heat is precious, so to keep the kitchen cool and the food hot, we grill!

We’ve done it before and we’ll do it again because grilled corn is a beautiful thing! At the peak of its season (right now!) you can find great deals on fresh, unshucked ears of corn. They grill up in minutes and can go straight on a hot grill. Brushed with a little oil and charred on the grill, this fire-roasted corn comes out sweet and smoky, with tasty specs of charred kernels. Paired with this drool-worthy cilantro cream sauce, thinly sliced red onion, and juicy tomatoes, this tasty summer veggie becomes a full-on side dish in no time!
