The Ingredients
- Frozen Corn
- Cajun Honey Butter - If you have some already on hand you can use that! You would need 3 tbsp.

The Method
- Mix. Place the corn, butter, honey, cajun seasoning and water in a sauce pan and stir.

To Reheat: Reheat in the microwave or on the stove. For stovetop, add 2 tablespoon of water and heat over medium for 5-10 minutes, stirring often.
Make it Your Own
This corn is a super simple and delicious side dish. If you'd like to give it a little more "pizzazz", you could:

- Add Peppers- Dice ½ cup of bell pepper and sauté in olive oil until softened. Resume with the recipe.
