Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Season the shrimp with 1 teaspoon of chili powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove the cooked shrimp from the skillet and set aside, leaving any remaining oil in the pan.
- In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of salted butter along with ½ cup of chopped onion. Lightly season with salt and sauté over medium heat for about 4 minutes, or until the onions have softened and become translucent.
- Stir in 5 minced garlic cloves into the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add 1.5 cups of cooked corn kernels and 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika to the onion and garlic mixture. Toss everything together, allowing the flavors to meld for about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in 1 cup of half-and-half, stirring well. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, cooking for 3-4 minutes.
- Add 4 ounces of crumbled feta cheese into the creamy sauce, stirring until the cheese melts. Squeeze the juice of 2 small limes into the sauce.
- Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and gently reheat for about 1-2 minutes until everything is warmed through.
- To serve, top with remaining corn, lime slices, and fresh cilantro. Enjoy!

Notes
For the best flavor, opt for fresh corn when it's in season. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
