  3. Stir in 1.5 cups of corn kernels and 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika. Cook while stirring for about 2-3 minutes until the corn is heated and fragrant.
  4. Pour in 1 cup of half-and-half and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in 4 oz of crumbled feta cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy.
  5. Squeeze juice from 2 small limes into the sauce and gently fold in the shrimp. Heat together for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Garnish with additional corn, lime slices, and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with rice, quinoa, or warm tortillas.
