Maque Choux With Sausage Corn is a vibrant Cajun-inspired skillet dish combining sweet corn, smoky sausage, and a medley of peppers and spices for a hearty, flavorful meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ears fresh corn, kernels removed
  • 1/2 pound smoked sausage, sliced
  • 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped celery
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the sliced smoked sausage. Cook until browned and slightly crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the onion, celery, green and red bell peppers, and sauté until tender, about 5–7 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the fresh corn kernels, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5–7 minutes until the corn starts to soften.
  5. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. Remove from heat and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top before serving.

Notes

For a spicier variation, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce. Maque Choux pairs wonderfully with crusty bread or over steamed rice.
