Skillet Corn with Shrimp and Sausage

Creamy corn teams up with hickory-smoked sausage and tender shrimp in this skillet supper. The corn is so easy to prepare once you’ve husked the ears and removed the corn silk. Try this method to remove those sticky strands in seconds: Using tongs, hold an ear over a flame from a gas stove-top or grill. Quickly rotate the cob so all of the silk burns off. When you’re done, rub off the charred silk with a paper towel.
