Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 cups fresh corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic , minced
  • 1/2 cup shallots , finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Using a knife, scrape the kernels off the corn cobs into a bowl, then scrape the cobs with the back of the knife to release the corn milk.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add shallots and cook until translucent, approximately 3 minutes.
  • Add the corn kernels and corn milk to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until corn is tender.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency.
  • While corn is simmering, pat shrimp dry with paper towels and season with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • In a separate skillet, heat olive oil and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Add shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and sear for 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
  • Divide the creamed corn into four shallow bowls. Top each with equal portions of the seared shrimp.
  • Garnish each serving with crumbled feta cheese and fresh chives before serving.
