    2 cups fresh shelled butter or lima beans

    2 large ears fresh corn
    2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    fresh ground black pepper (to taste)

Clean corn and cut kernels from cobs.

In a large skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat until melted and foaming. Add corn. Lightly season with salt and pepper, stirring to coat corn in butter. Cook 1 to 2 minutes. Add beans. Lightly season with salt and pepper. Cook 1 minute more. Do not overcook corn and beans.
