Instructions

1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

2. Stir in the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer for 1 minute to develop flavor.

3. Add the corn and stir well to coat. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, letting the corn warm and lightly caramelize.

4. Reduce the heat. Stir in the cream cheese and heavy cream until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.

5. Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Serve hot.

Notes

Use fresh corn when in season for peak flavor.

Add a pinch of smoked paprika or chopped jalapeños for a spicier version.

If reheating leftovers, add a splash of cream to restore creaminess.
