  1. Slice the kernels from the cobs into a large bowl.
  2. In a 10-inch to 12-inch skillet set over medium high heat, melt the butter. Add the corn, garlic powder and a pinch of salt. Saute for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Notes

  • Storage and Reheating: Store leftover skillet corn in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat. You can also serve chilled over a salad or bowl.
