Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil.
Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Add the fresh corn kernels to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly with the butter and garlic mixture.
Season the corn with paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Cook the corn for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kernels are tender and slightly golden brown.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the fresh chopped cilantro and lemon juice.
If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top while the corn is still warm.
Serve immediately as a warm snack or side dish. Enjoy!
