Maque Choux With Sausage Corn

Print Recipe

Maque Choux with Sausage Corn is a classic Louisiana Creole dish featuring tender corn and smoky sausage sautéed with bell peppers, onions, and spices for a flavorful, comforting skillet meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ears fresh corn, kernels removed (or 3 cups frozen corn)
  • 1/2 lb smoked sausage, sliced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the sliced sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the onions, green and red bell peppers, and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add the corn kernels, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir well and cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Return the sausage to the skillet and mix to combine.
  6. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently until coated and heated through, about 2 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

For an extra kick, add a splash of hot sauce or substitute the smoked sausage with Andouille for a more traditional Cajun flavor.
