Homemade Stovetop Popcorn with Old Bay

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup corn kernels
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 – 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, or more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil and three kernels of corn in a large covered stock pot over medium heat. When the three kernels have popped, after 3 or so minutes, edge the heat up a bit, add the remaining kernels, cover, and continuously shake the pot. I use pot holder-clad hands to simultaneously shake and hold the lid on.
  2. Meanwhile, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
  3. Once the corn popping has slowed considerably, after roughly 5 to 10 minutes, uncover the pot and turn popped corn into a large bowl. Drizzle the butter over the popcorn and toss with the salt, Old Bay, and pepper. Serve immediately.
