Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 ears corn, shucked
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese Using freshly grated Parmesan will give you the smoothest sauce.
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Remove the husks and silk from the ears of corn, then slice each cob into thirds.
  2. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt completely.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté until fragrant.
  4. Place the corn pieces into the pan and cook for several minutes, turning occasionally to develop light golden brown spots.
  5. Once the corn is lightly browned, pour the heavy cream into the pan and reduce the heat to a low simmer.
  6. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well until the cheese melts into the cream.
  7. Allow the mixture to simmer gently until the sauce thickens and coats the corn.
  8. Serve the corn warm, ensuring each piece is coated with the garlic parmesan sauce.

Notes

If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of cream or milk. For variations, add red pepper flakes for heat or fresh herbs for freshness. Sprinkle extra Parmesan on top before serving.
