Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 cups water
Directions
Step 1
Shuck the corn, removing all husks and silk strands. Rinse the ears under cold water to ensure they are clean.
Step 2
In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil over high heat. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Step 3
Once the water is boiling, carefully place the corn ears into the pot. Reduce the heat to medium and let the corn cook for 8-10 minutes, or until tender.
Step 4
While the corn is cooking, prepare the lemon-garlic butter. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Step 5
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant (be careful not to burn the garlic).
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and mix in the lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Step 7
Once the corn is cooked, use tongs to remove it from the pot and let it cool slightly.
Step 8
Brush the lemon-garlic butter generously over each ear of corn, ensuring even coverage.
Step 9
Serve immediately while warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
