Cooking
  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the husked corn and cook for 5-7 minutes until tender.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter and minced garlic.
  3. Once the corn is cooked, remove it from the pot and drain.
  4. Brush the garlic butter mixture over the corn, ensuring it is well-coated.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
  7. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to your garlic butter. You can also use fresh herbs like thyme or basil for a unique flavor twist. If you’re in a hurry, microwave the corn in a covered dish with a bit of water for about 4-5 minutes.
