Ingredients

2 cups Frozen corn kernels
2 tablespoons Butter
0.5 teaspoons Salt
0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
2 tablespoons Water
1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Place a medium-sized skillet or saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the water and frozen corn kernels to the pan. Stir to distribute the water evenly around the corn.

Step 3

Cover the pan with a lid and let the corn steam for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Once the corn is heated through and most of the water has evaporated, reduce the heat to low.

Step 5

Add the butter to the pan and stir until it melts completely, coating the corn evenly.

Step 6

Season the corn with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. You can add more salt or pepper based on your preference.

Step 8

If using fresh parsley, sprinkle it over the corn and give it a final stir before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot as a simple side dish or alongside your favorite main course.
