Ingredients
Corn Ribs
- 4 ears of corn, each ear cut into 8 spears
- 2 teaspoons garlic salt
- 2 teaspoon Slap Ya Mama seasoning
- 2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Creamy Dip
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Zest from one lime
- ⅓ cup chopped cilantro
- 1½-2 cups vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium high heat to 350 degrees.
- Cut corn cobs in half and then cut them again lengthwise so you get 8 ribs from each ear of corn.
- In a small bowl, stir all the spices together.
- In a medium bowl, stir the sour cream, lime juice and zest, and cilantro together. Cover and place in the fridge while frying the corn.
- Add corn to the hot oil and deep fry for 4-5 minutes.
- Remove the ribs from the oil and add to a large metal bowl.
- Sprinkle the seasoning over the fried corn ribs and toss to coat. Enjoy with the dipping sauce or melted butter.
Notes
- Use a sharp butcher knife to cut through the corn cobs more easily.
- Use a pot for the frying to limit spatter and make it possible to fry all the corn at once.
- Be sure your corn is completely day after being washed before adding it to the hot oil.
