Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Frozen corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, chopped)
Instructions
Place a medium-sized skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Add the water and frozen corn kernels to the pan. Stir to distribute the water evenly around the corn.
Cover the pan with a lid and let the corn steam for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the corn is heated through and most of the water has evaporated, reduce the heat to low.
Add the butter to the pan and stir until it melts completely, coating the corn evenly.
Season the corn with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. You can add more salt or pepper based on your preference.
If using fresh parsley, sprinkle it over the corn and give it a final stir before serving.
Serve hot as a simple side dish or alongside your favorite main course.
