Ingredients
- 400 grams Frozen sweet corn
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder (optional)
- 60 milliliters Water
Instructions
Place a medium-sized skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Add the frozen sweet corn to the pan, along with 60 milliliters (about 1/4 cup) of water.
Cover the pan with a lid and let the corn steam for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Once the water has mostly evaporated, remove the lid and reduce the heat to low.
Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the pan and stir until the butter is fully melted and coats the corn evenly.
Sprinkle the corn with 0.5 teaspoons of salt and 0.25 teaspoons of ground black pepper. Add 0.25 teaspoons of garlic powder if desired for extra flavor.
Stir everything together for an additional 1-2 minutes to combine the seasonings and ensure the corn is fully heated through.
