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!
