Delicious Buttery Garlic Corn Recipe 🌽
Ingredients:
4 fresh corn cobs (husks removed)
2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted) 🧈
2 garlic cloves (minced) 🧄
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish) 🌿
1/2 tsp salt 🧂
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional for a smoky flavor)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional) 🧀
Lemon wedges (for serving) 🍋
🍽️ Method of Preparation:
1️⃣ Prepare the Corn: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt to the water. Place the corn cobs in the boiling water and cook for 7-10 minutes, or until the kernels are tender. Alternatively, you can grill the corn on medium-high heat for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until lightly charred.
2️⃣ Make the Garlic Butter: In a small pan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant (be careful not to burn the garlic).
3️⃣ Season the Corn: Remove the cooked corn from the pot or grill. Brush each cob with the warm garlic butter, making sure to coat it evenly. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
4️⃣ Add Toppings: For extra flavor, sprinkle the corn with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.
5️⃣ Serve and Enjoy: Serve the buttery garlic corn while it’s hot. It’s a perfect side dish for barbecues, family dinners, or as a simple snack. 🌽✨
