Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat.

Add the corn cobs to the boiling water and cook for 7-10 minutes until kernels are tender.

While corn is cooking, mix together softened butter, parsley, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika in a small bowl until well combined.

Drain the corn and immediately brush each ear generously with the seasoned butter mixture while still hot.

Serve immediately with extra herb butter on the side if desired.
