Equipment

  • Medium saucepan

Ingredients
  

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 16 ounces frozen sweet corn
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream for extra richness
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika for a subtle smoky flavor

Instructions
 

  • Start by taking out your frozen sweet corn. No need to thaw it before cooking. Simply toss it into a medium saucepan.
  • To the corn, add the butter, sugar, salt, and black pepper. The sugar helps to cut through the richness of the butter and enhances the corn's natural sweetness.
  • Turn the heat to medium. Stir the corn mixture occasionally. Keep an eye on it—you're aiming for the butter to melt and the corn to heat thoroughly, which usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
  • Once everything is bubbly and hot, give it a taste. Adjust with more salt or sugar to your liking. Don’t be shy; you are the chef, after all!
  • Serve the corn hot as a side dish to complement your mains. Optional: sprinkle more black pepper on top for presentation.

Notes

  • Substituting fresh corn for frozen? Just make sure it's cooked first.
  • If you have leftover corn, reheating it in a skillet can restore some texture.
  • Add some diced jalapeños for a spicy kick!
  • Experiment with seasonings; Italian herbs can offer a fun twist.
  •  Keep it covered until serving to retain heat.
