A frozen bag of corn is a common dinnertime staple, but it only takes a few extra seconds to transform this side dish to a kicked-up version with a simple blend of spices. We make this spicy, seasoned corn at least once a week, whether as a side dish for tacos, fajitas, steaks on the grill, or even salads.

INGREDIENTS

1 Lb. Bag Whole Kernel, Sweet Corn
2 Tbsp. Butter
1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
1 tsp. Cayenne Pepper
1 tsp. Chili Powder
1 tsp. Cumin
1 tsp. Paprika
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
2 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Freshly Cracked Black Pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Gather your ingredients, along with a large skillet and a rubber spatula.

Step 2: Add butter and olive oil over medium high heat, then add corn. Stir to coat, breaking up any frozen chunks of corn.

Step 3: When corn has thawed completely, add spices and stir thoroughly. Taste and adjust per your preference.

Step 4: Once the corn is heated through, you're ready to serve. Keep warm.

Note: Corn will cool quickly once removed from heat and tends to dry out in the microwave, so keep in the skillet, covered, over very low heat to keep warm until the rest of your meal is ready to be served.
