Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ cup water
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt optional, to taste
  • 1 can corn, drained and rinsed 15.25 ounce can

Instructions

  • Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic. Saute for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is light golden brown.
  • Add the paprika and Italian seasoning to the garlic butter and stir for about 30 seconds.
    Add the rest of the ingredients to the pan and simmer until the liquid is evaporated, about 7 minutes.

Notes

  • Drain and thoroughly rinse the corn to wash away the canned flavor and excess sodium. 
  • Instead of butter, try sauteeing corn in olive oil or even bacon drippings!
  • Briefly cooking the paprika and Italian seasoning in butter "blooms" the seasonings, maximizing their flavor.
