In a large bowl, cut all the corn kernels off the cob, scraping the cobs to get all the corn milk.

Fry corn until most of the liquid is absorbed, stirring frequently. Taste for salt and pepper. If desired, stir in a couple tablespoons of cream at the end. Serve and enjoy!

Notes
I use an unsalted Cajun spice blend. I also use salted butter. Keep that in mind when adding salt!
The seasonings can easily be adjusted to taste and heat level, you want more spicy, add a little more of the seasonings to taste.
Can swap out some butter (2-3 tablespoons) with bacon drippings for an even more Southern flavor profile, and garnish with crumbled bacon!
