Instructions

1. 1.
   Begin by melting 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. The butter should bubble gently with a slightly nutty aroma, indicating that it is ready. Use a non-stick pan to prevent the ingredients from sticking and ensure even cooking.
2. 2.
   Add 1 cup of fresh corn kernels to the skillet. Stir the corn frequently for about 5 minutes or until it becomes a vibrant golden color with slightly charred edges. This will enhance the natural sweetness of the corn.
3. 3.
   Carefully add the 1/2 pound of shrimp to the pan, spreading them out for even cooking. Cook for about 3 minutes on one side. The shrimp should start turning pink and slightly opaque. Flip them over using tongs, ensuring that both sides cook evenly.
4. 4.
   Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over the shrimp and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper across the entire dish. Stir gently to combine and allow the flavors to meld together. The honey balances the heat from the cayenne, giving the dish a sweet and spicy kick.
5. 5.
   Continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes or until the shrimp are fully cooked through, appearing firm and opaque all the way through. If the sauce seems too thin, let it simmer for another minute to thicken slightly.
