What You’ll Need
- Precooked corn on the cob
- Skillet
- Butter or oil
- Salt and pepper (optional)
- Garlic powder (optional)
- Fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro (optional)
Step 1: Prepare the Skillet
Place a skillet on the stovetop over medium heat. Add a pat of butter or a drizzle of oil to the skillet and let it melt or heat up.
Step 2: Add the Precooked Corn
Once the skillet is hot, carefully add the precooked corn on the cob. You can use tongs to handle the corn, ensuring you don’t burn yourself.
Step 3: Cook and Rotate
Allow the corn to cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side. To achieve an even, golden-brown char, carefully rotate the corn using your tongs.
Step 4: Season to Taste
Before removing the corn from the skillet, season it to taste. Sprinkle a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder on each side of the corn. This step is optional but adds a delicious savory flavor.
Step 5: Serve and Garnish (Optional)
Once the corn is cooked and seasoned, remove it from the skillet and transfer it to a serving plate. For an extra touch of freshness, garnish with freshly chopped herbs like parsley or cilantro.
