Maque Choux (Cajun Corn Sautee)

A spicy cajun corn dish perfect with chicken or shrimp.

• Ready In: 1 hr
• Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• 12  ears fresh corn
• 1⁄2 cup butter
• 1  onion, chopped
• 1  jalapeno, diced (be careful when cutting to protect your eyes, wash your hands after handling)
• 1  green bell pepper, chopped
• 1⁄2 cup crushed tomatoes
• 1⁄2 cup water
•  salt
•  cayenne

Directions

1. Cut the corn from the cob. Scrape the cobs with the blunt edge of the knife to remove the "milk." Set aside.
2. Heat the butter in a large, heavy pot over medium heat. Add onions and bell pepper. Cook, stirring, until golden and soft, about 10 minutes.
3. Add corn, tomatoes, and water. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 15 minutes.
4. Add salt, jalapeno, and cayenne and cook until corn is very tender, 20-30 minutes more.
