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. Ingredients 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 6 cups fresh corn kernels (from about 8 large ears) 1 cup chopped sweet onion (from 1 small onion) 4 ounces cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup half-and-half 1 teaspoon black pepper 1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives plus more for garnish 1 teaspoon olive oil 8 ounces hickory-smoked sausage, cut into 1/4-inch slices 1 pound medium-size peeled, deveined raw shrimp 1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley Directions Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Add corn and onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 8 minutes. Stir in cream cheese, half-and-half, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until cream cheese melts, 2 minutes. Stir in chives. Remove pan from heat; cover to keep warm. Heat oil in a separate large skillet over medium-high. Add sausage; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels, reserving drippings in pan. Sprinkle shrimp with remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt. Add to pan; cook over medium-high, stirring occasionally, until shrimp turn pink, 3 minutes. Serve corn topped with sausage, shrimp, chives, and parsley. Antonis Achilleos; Prop Styling: Kay E.
