Cajun-Style Shrimp with Maque Choux

If you’re not already familiar with maque choux (pronounced “mock-shoo”), let us introduce you! This corn-centric vegetable dish, popular in Cajun and Creole cuisine, is traditionally braised. Our version takes some shortcuts in preparation but not in flavor. The bold, buttery richness of maque choux pairs nicely with spicy, perfectly cooked shrimp thanks to the June Food Thermometer and the Jumbo Prawns Cook-Program. Serve this recipe as a main course over grits or pasta, or with garlic bread on the side to soak up the flavorful saucy veg. If you prefer more spice, double the cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
