Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh corn on the cob. If you're using frozen corn, thaw it before cooking.
- Be sure to cook the corn over medium heat. If you cook it over too high heat, it will burn.
- If you're using a cast iron skillet, preheat it over medium heat for 5 minutes before adding the corn. This will help to prevent the corn from sticking.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you add too much corn, it will not cook evenly.
- Season the corn with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, chili powder, or paprika.
- Cook the corn for 10-12 minutes, or until it is tender and slightly browned.
- Serve the corn immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, sour cream, or cheese.
