Honey Butter Skillet Corn

Ingredients:

• 4 cups frozen corn kernels (or fresh if available)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or chives (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Corn:
   • If using frozen corn, thaw it by placing it in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook the Corn:
   • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the corn and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until heated through and slightly golden in some areas.
3. Add Honey and Seasonings:
   • Drizzle the honey over the corn and stir it in. Add salt, pepper, and smoked paprika (if using), then cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the honey to coat the corn and caramelize slightly.
4. Serve:
   • Once the corn is nicely coated and heated through, remove it from the heat. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired.
5. Enjoy:
   • Serve hot as a side dish to your favorite main courses.

This sweet and savory combination of honey and butter makes the corn extra flavorful and perfect for any occasion!
