To make this Jalapeño Fried Corn all you need is cooked, fresh sweet corn, with fresh jalapeños peppers. You just can’t go wrong with this combination and it’s so simple to make! All you need are a few ingredients, garlic butter, and salt & pepper, to give this side dish a great flavor. Make it with me!
Corn on the Cob
One of my favorite ways to cook up corn on the cob is to throw it in my Instant Pot!
What can’t you cook in the instant pot is the real question!
Instant Pot Corn on the Cob is quick and easy, plus it turns out perfect every time! This Jalapeño Fried Corn recipe calls for cooked corn and if you don’t already have some on hand, this is an easy way to whip some up!
Jalapeño Fried Corn
My mom actually taught me how to make this Jalapeño Fried Corn years ago and it’s remained a family favorite side dish ever since!
The combination of the sweet corn, the spicy Jalapeño, and the garlic butter sauce makes this a real treat!
We love to throw it on our plates as a side dish to any meal! But you could also use it is as a taco or salad filling. I even use it in my BBQ Pork Buddha Bowl recipe!
Jalapeño
I like to remove the seeds from my jalapeño before adding it to the frying pan. I like a little bit of heat, but not much!
That choice is up to you! I love how the sweet corn compliments the hot jalapeño!
Garlic Butter
This recipe calls for my very favorite Chef Shamy Garlic Butter. This stuff seriously elevates your cooking and makes everything taste amazing!!
You can buy Chef Shamy’s at Costco, Sams Club, Harmons, and online direct through their site or on Amazon!
