I don't know about you, but my family eats a lot of corn! We absolutely love it and it's so easy to prepare, especially when grilling. There isn't a ton of foods that just scream outdoor barbecues like grilled corn.
Not sure about you, but to me, grilled corn seems very Americana and makes me think of family barbecues and playing in a cul-de-sac. Also, makes me think of fireworks as I'm pretty sure I've eaten corn every 4th of July since birth but that's a different story.

Instructions
Step 1: Shuck your corn.
Step 2: In a bowl, add the mayo and Santa Maria seasoning. Mix well.
Step 3: Turn your grill on high, you want anywhere between 450-500 degrees
Step 4: Rub the mayo mix all over the corn. Add additional seasoning if desired. Paprika is always a nice touch to add a little color.
Step 5: Place the corn directly on the grill turning occasionally until done to your preference, typically 6-8 minutes on high heat will do the job. Remove when done, serve hot and enjoy!

Lessons Learned (Note: I will update this section to include your lessons learned from the comment section)
Grills have hot spots, so be careful. Corn can burn very easily. Good news is that you can easily hear it when the corn is burning as it pops…go figure.
