Valarie’s Jerk Corn

Valarie's Jerk Corn, aka Crack Corn
Print Recipe

This flavorful corn is highly addictive and leaves you longing for more. The combination of flavors of the jerk-spiced butter melted over the corn and then finished with handcrafted mayo and ranch bread flavored panic bread crumbs. This recipe was inspired by Chef Nina Compton’s version. She is owner and Chef at Compére Lapin in New Orleans. We love her style of cooking. Hope you enjoy Valarie’s version as much as we do.

Notes

The cook time is combined. About 35 minutes to roast the garlic. Ten minutes to cook corn in pot. Eight to ten minutes to roast corn in oven.This recipe is so addictive. I would recommend making twice the amount as you will want more! We love the flavors coming out of Nina Compton’s kitchen at Compré Lapin. We suggested you follow her and look at her other recipes.
