Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
Husk the corn and remove all the silk threads. Use a sharp knife to cut the corn kernels off the cob.
Preheat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
In a large bowl, combine the corn kernels, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to evenly coat the corn with the oil and seasonings.
Once the skillet is hot, add the seasoned corn in a single layer. Allow the corn to cook without stirring for 5 minutes to achieve a nice char.
Stir the corn and continue cooking for an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is nicely charred and tender.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the fresh lime juice.
Transfer the charred corn to a serving dish and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
