Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh corn kernels (about 6-8 ears)

1 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)

Salt and pepper to taste

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

Instructions
 

Start by shucking the corn, removing the husks and silk. Cut the kernels off the cobs using a sharp knife, scraping the cob to get all the juices. Set aside.

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 4-5 minutes.

      Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.

        Add the corn kernels to the skillet, mixing thoroughly with the onion and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the corn to soften slightly.

          Pour in the heavy cream, and season with smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir everything together and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy.

            Adjust seasoning if needed, then remove from heat.

              To serve, spoon the creamed corn into a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh chives on top for a pop of color and flavor.
