Prep the ingredients:
Shuck 5 ears of sweet corn and cut the kernels off the cob.
Dice 1 large onion.
Mince 3 cloves of garlic.
Chop 1 tablespoon of jalapeño (more or less to taste).
Chop ¼ cup scallions.
Sauté the aromatics:
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2–3 tablespoons of herbed butter with a splash of olive oil.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 5–7 minutes until soft and golden.
Add flavor:
Stir in the garlic and chopped jalapeño, then cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the corn kernels to the skillet:
Stir to combine everything evenly, and season generously with salt and pepper.
Stir in the chopped scallions:
Cook for another 2–3 minutes, just until the corn is tender and slightly caramelized.
Serve and enjoy!
Serve warm as a side dish for BBQs, weeknight dinners, or alongside grilled proteins.
Optional: Add a sprinkle of parmesan or a squeeze of lime for extra flavor.
