Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels (thawed if frozen)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1.5 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter.
Once the butter is melted, add the corn kernels to the skillet and stir to coat the corn evenly in the butter.
Cook the corn for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and lightly golden in spots.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream, ensuring the corn is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the lemon pepper seasoning, lemon zest, and salt over the corn. Stir well to combine and allow the mixture to heat for another 2-3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the corn to a serving bowl.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.
