Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh corn kernels (or 2 cans of sweet corn, drained)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Salt and black pepper to taste

3 tablespoons hot honey (or regular honey mixed with a pinch of red pepper flakes)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Crumbled feta cheese (for topping)

Instructions
 

In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until melted and hot.

    Add the chopped red onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.

      Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper; cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

        Add the corn kernels to the skillet, mixing well to combine with the onion and garlic. Season with salt and black pepper.

          Continue cooking the corn mixture for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the corn is tender and slightly caramelized.

            Drizzle the hot honey over the corn and stir gently to coat evenly. Cook for another 2 minutes.

              Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro and crumbled feta cheese.
