Equipment

  • cast iron skillet

Ingredients

  • 2 cups corn (fresh, frozen or canned)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ¼ teaspoon seasoned salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika

Optional Garnishes

  • cilantro
  • lime wedges

Instructions

  • If using fresh corn, cut off of the corn cob using a sharp knife. If using frozen corn thaw under running water and pat dry with a paper towel. To use canned corn, drain liquid from the can and pat dry with paper towel.
  • Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add the butter to melt and once the skillet is very hot add the corn, seasoned salt, black pepper and paprika.
  • Stir frequently allowing the corn to char evenly. This will take about 4-5 minutes.
  • Serve corn with cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
