Ingredients

Instructions

For the Compound Butter

  • Start by allowing the butter to soften naturally by allowing it to sit out at room temperature for a few hours. Once completely softened you add seasonings, in this case the dry jerk spices. Mix the spices into the butter well using a fork.
  • Wrap the butter into a log using saran wrap. Refrigerate overnight until ready to use.

For the Corn

  • Prepare the corn by cutting off ¼ inch off the base. No need to remove the husks as it will easily slide off intact after microwaving.
  • One at a time microwave one whole ear of corn on high for 4 minutes.
  • Remove the corn and allow to cool slightly. Using your fingers squeeze the uncut tip to push the corn out from the husk.
  • Heat a wide pan on low heat. Add the butter and let it melt. Once warm, add the corn and roll it around in the pan for 15-20 seconds to ensure the corn is fully coated.
  • Serve.

Notes

Choose the freshest corn available to you.
Regular butter is just fine, but not as fun. I used jerk compound butter because I had plenty of dry jerk spice on hand. However, feel free to use whatever seasoning mix you have.
You can cook multiple ears of corn at the same time, but you’ll need to increase your cooking time accordingly.
Serve the microwave corn with quick air fryer salmon or air fryer jerk steak.
