This Spicy Corn Maque Choux (pronounced: “mock shoe”) is my spiced up version of the classic Cajun/Creole dish. And the perfect way to cook up some fresh summer corn.

The main key to making this tasty dish is to use fresh corn cut off the cob. And make sure to get all that milk from the corn as well. That’s what makes it taste so fresh and delicious.

Once the Corn is cut off the cob, it gets sauteed with some onions, peppers and garlic until tender. Then we spice it up with a bit of fresh jalapeno pepper and some cajun spice. And for the finish…..Some heavy cream and a handful of fresh chopped cilantro. Oh my goodness! it is so good!

It is my new “go to” side dish for summer. Super easy to make and so absolutely delicious! I think it will become your “go to” side as well.

Serve this Spicy Corn Maque Choux as a side to Spicy Shrimp and Andouille Sausage or this Spice Rubbed Roasted Salmon With Pear And Arugula Salad
