When I was a kid I was pretty anti-corn-on-the-cob.  I hated getting the corn fibers stuck in my teeth.  Maybe it was because I had braces for most of my childhood.  At least that’s how it seemed then.  #nerdalert

I’ve gotten over it now.  Or maybe it’s just that I’ve acquired corn-on-the-cob eating skills.  But alas, the cycle has restarted.  I now have three kids that refuse to eat corn from the cob.  I can here my mom muttering, “serves me right.”  It probably does.

Turns out, thought, that removing corn isn’t all that hard.  I think I picked up this little tip from a magazine at some point.  To easily remove the kernels without them shooting all over the kitchen, place the shucked cob into the hole of a bundt pan, the cut the kernels off using a sharp knife.  The corn will fall into the cake pan, and it makes the process so much easier!

Shuck and remove the corn kernels from five ears of corn.  Heat a dry non-stick skillet (no oil or cooking spray) to medium high heat.  Add in the corn.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn develops a few charred spots.  Remove from the heat and add the corn to a large bowl.

Add in the sliced scallions, minced jalapeno, olive oil, salt and pepper, and toss to coat.  In a small bowl mix together 1/4 cup honey and 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice.

Wipe out the skillet and return it to medium-high heat again.  Toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt and pepper.  Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and cook one minute per side, or until pink and cooked through.  Pour the honey lime mixture over the shrimp, give it a quick stir and remove from heat.
