In a large skillet, melt 3 tbsp. butter over medium heat. Cook 2 minutes or until foamy. Add shrimp and remaining cup of corn kernels and remaining ½ tsp. salt. Cook 4 minutes or until shrimp are pink and done. Stir in 1½ tbsp. chives. Divide soup among 8 bowls and top evenly with shrimp mixture. Sprinkle remaining chives over each bowl evenly and serve.
Notes: If it is not the right time of year for fresh corn, substitute frozen whole kernel corn.
