Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sausages in a single layer and sauté 2 minutes per side.
Optional Step: While chorizo is cooking, you can, but don’t need to, microwave the corn kernels, covered by a damp paper towel for 2 minutes. I just hit the ‘add a minute’ and adjust.
Put heat on high and add in zucchini and garlic, sauté 3 minutes.
Hit the sauté with the wine, or a bit of water and after 30 seconds, turn heat to medium.
