Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 ears of corn
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the 4 ears of corn and cook for 8 minutes, then remove with tongs and set on a plate.
  2. Melt the 4 tbsp unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the 1 tsp Old Bay, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp smoked paprika, and 1/4 tsp kosher salt until fully combined.
  3. Brush the seasoned butter generously over each ear of corn while the corn is still hot, turning to coat all sides.
  4. Transfer the cobs to a serving platter, scatter the 1 tbsp fresh parsley over the top, and add the lemon wedges alongside.

Notes

The seasoned butter is the whole recipe, so taste it before you brush. If your Old Bay is a fresh jar, it will be saltier than an older one, so hold back on the added kosher salt and adjust after a small taste. You can also melt the butter and mix the spices earlier in the day and just reheat it when the corn is ready.
