2. 2. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter and minced garlic.

Notes
Choose the freshest corn: Look for plump, juicy kernels that are bright yellow and free of blemishes.
Don’t overcook the corn: Boiling the corn for 5 to 7 minutes is the sweet spot.
Adjust the garlic to your taste: Feel free to add an extra clove or two to the butter if you’re a garlic lover.
Use high-quality Parmesan: The better the Parmesan, the more it will elevate the overall flavor of the dish.
