Ingredients
- 4 cups corn (fresh or frozen)

- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley (optional) for garnish
Instructions
- Melt 1/4 cup unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat until slightly bubbly and aromatic.

Notes
For a vegan version, substitute butter with coconut oil and honey with maple syrup. Do not overcook to prevent mushiness. Serve immediately for best texture.
