Bowl

Spatula

Stir together in a small bowl all ingredients listed from smoked paprika through the salt. This will make your blackened seasoning and is more than the 1 Tablespoon needed, but the remainder can be stored to use in another dish.

Put oil in a 10-12 inch cast iron skillet and heat over medium high until a drop of water &quot;dances&quot; on the surface.

Add corn and then sprinkle with 1 Tablespoon of the blackened seasoning.

Pat down lightly with a spatula and allow to cook for about 2 minutes.

Stir to allow corn kernels on top to get to surface of skillet and cook an additional 2 minutes (approximately) or until desired char is reached.

Stir in melted butter and garnish if desired before serving.
