Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups sweet corn kernels fresh or thawed frozen
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 small shallot minced
  • 1 clove garlic minced, optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or chives chopped, optional
  • Lime wedges for serving, optional

Instructions
 

  • Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat and add olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Swirl until melted and foamy.
  • Add minced shallot and garlic (if using) and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
  • Increase heat to medium-high, add corn in an even layer, and let sear undisturbed for 2–3 minutes, then stir and sear another 2 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium, push corn aside, melt remaining butter, stir in honey, smoked paprika, and cayenne, then coat the corn evenly.
  • Season with salt and pepper, remove from heat, garnish with parsley or chives, and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

For extra char, use high heat briefly or finish under a broiler for 1 minute. Leftovers reheat well in a skillet with a splash of butter.
