Ingredients

  • 32 ounces frozen corn kernels
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • ¼ cup heavy cream optional

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, over medium heat, melt the butter.
  • When the butter is melted, add the corn kernels.
  • Stir to coat the corn. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the corn starts to soften.
  • Stir in the Cajun seasoning.
  • Continue cooking for another 5-8 minutes or until the corn starts to turn a golden brown.
  • Reduce the heat to low.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper.

Notes

  • Use any additional Cajun corn as a topping on tacos, southwest salad, or nachos.
  • Use Creole or Tony Chachere spice blend in a pinch. You can also use lemon pepper seasoning with a dash of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
  • Serve alongside fried chicken or buttered seafood!
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to four days, or freeze for up to two months.
  • Swap the cream for chicken stock.
  • Refresh the flavor with a dab of butter before heating again!
  • If you are craving actual Wingstop Cajun Corn, try frying up the mini cobs!
