  1. In a 12-inch skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Season shrimp with chili powder and salt. Sear shrimp for 3-4 minutes until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of salted butter until foamy. Add chopped onion, seasoning with salt, and sauté for 3 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  3. Stir in cooked corn and smoked paprika into the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes until heated through and slightly caramelized.
  4. Pour in half-and-half, stirring continuously as it simmers. Add feta cheese and mix until melted and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
