Make the Cajun Butter

  1. Add the softened butter, paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and thyme to a bowl.
  2. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Mix until thoroughly combined. Set aside.

  2. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  3. Season with kosher salt to taste. Set aside.
  4. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds just before serving.

Make the Green Goddess Butter

  2. Pulse until the herbs are finely chopped and the butter is evenly combined.

Grill the Corn

  1. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates.

  4. Transfer the grilled corn to a serving platter.
  5. While the corn is still hot, spread generously with your choice of Cajun, miso, or Green Goddess butter.
  6. Serve immediately, with extra flavored butter on the side.

Recipe Notes

Make-ahead: The flavored butters can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until needed. Allow them to soften at room temperature before serving.

Serving idea: Serve all three butters alongside the grilled corn so guests can choose their favorite flavor—or try all three.
