Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh corn kernels (about 6 ears of corn)

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons honey

¼ teaspoon sea salt (adjust to taste)

¼ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional for a touch of heat)

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or parsley (for garnish)

Juice of half a lime (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare Corn: If using fresh corn, husk the corn and remove the kernels by slicing down the cob with a sharp knife. You should have about 4 cups of kernels. Alternatively, you can use frozen corn, thawed.

    Heat Skillet: In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Allow the butter to froth but not brown.

      Add Corn: Once the butter is melted, add the corn kernels to the skillet. Stir well to coat the corn with the butter.

        Seasoning: Cook the corn for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is tender and begins to caramelize slightly.

          Add Honey and Spices: Drizzle in the honey and sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika (if using). Stir thoroughly until the honey is well combined and the corn is evenly coated.

            Finish with Lime: For a touch of freshness, squeeze the juice of half a lime into the corn mixture and stir.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the honey butter corn to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley for an added burst of flavor and color.

                Enjoy! Serve warm as a delightful side dish for barbecues, family dinners, or any occasion.
