Ingredients
- 2 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
Step 1
Husk the corn and remove all the silk threads. Use a sharp knife to cut the corn kernels off the cob.
Step 2
Preheat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the corn kernels, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to evenly coat the corn with the oil and seasonings.
Step 4
Once the skillet is hot, add the seasoned corn in a single layer. Allow the corn to cook without stirring for 5 minutes to achieve a nice char.
Step 5
Stir the corn and continue cooking for an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is nicely charred and tender.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the fresh lime juice.
Step 7
Transfer the charred corn to a serving dish and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
