Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika (optional)
Instructions
Shuck the corn and remove all silk strands from the ears. Rinse under cold water to clean thoroughly.
Cut the kernels off the cob by standing each ear upright on a cutting board and slicing downward carefully with a sharp knife.
Mince the garlic cloves, and finely chop the fresh parsley.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, making sure not to burn the garlic.
Stir in the corn kernels, cooking for about 5–7 minutes, or until the corn is tender and lightly browned in some spots.
Season the corn with salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using). Toss well to evenly coat the kernels.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the corn.
Transfer the corn to a serving dish and serve immediately.
