Notes

  • Fresh summer corn gives the best flavor, but frozen corn works perfectly year-round.
  • Avoid overcooking the corn to keep the kernels tender rather than mushy.
  • Add a pinch of paprika or cayenne pepper if you want a little heat.
  • This dish tastes best served immediately while the butter sauce is warm and glossy.
