- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:

- In the same skillet with the Shroomacon grease, melt the vegan butter over medium heat.
- Add the drained corn to the skillet and spread it out evenly. Let it cook undisturbed for a couple of minutes to allow the corn to caramelize slightly. Sprinkle the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the corn. Stir gently to combine the spices with the corn. Continue cooking the corn, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes or until it becomes slightly golden and cooked through.
- Add the crispy Shroomacon back into the skillet and stir it into the corn.
- Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve the Southern Fried Corn with Shroomacon as a delicious side dish or as a flavorful addition to your favorite main course.
