About This Recipe

Cajun Fried Corn is a lip-smacking Southern Style snack that has spicy, buttery flavors with a little bit of earthiness.

It is an easy and quick recipe where sweet corn is flavored with cajun seasoning, paprika, cayenne powder, chicken stock, and butter. This is how they make it in Missouri!

This Southern Cajun Corn is a perfect summer snack when you crave something light and delicious.

You can also serve it as a snack with your evening tea or coffee or as a munchie with your cocktails/mocktails for your house parties.

I sometimes serve it as a side dish with my Southern-style dinners.

This recipe is super versatile. You can add other ingredients like bacon dripping to season it further or add heavy cream for that creamy texture. Once it is ready, you can also garnish it with crispy bacon. Yum!

Double or triple the recipe if making it for a crowd.

Ingredients

Sweet Corn – I used frozen corn kernels to make this recipe but you can definitely shuck fresh corn and use the kernels.

Cajun Seasoning – Make it at home using my easy Cajun Seasoning recipe or buy a bottle.

Cayenne Pepper and Smoked Paprika – Increase or decrease the amount depending on your taste.

Butter – Butter adds a rich taste to this recipe that no other ingredient will do. Use salted or unsalted butter.

Chicken Stock – Chicken stock makes the corn extra flavorful. To make the recipe vegetarian, use vegetarian stock instead.

How To Make Cajun Fried Corn

Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Once the butter is melted, add ½ cup chicken stock, 2 teaspoon cajun seasoning, ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika, and ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper powder, and mix well.

Add 3 cups of corn kernels, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper and mix well.

Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid.

Cook for 10-12 minutes until the corn is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.

Check for salt and pepper and add more if needed.

Serve hot.

Storage Suggestions

These Cajun Corn will last in the fridge for a good 3 to 4 days when stored properly in an air-tight container.

Reheat them in a pan or microwave until nice and warm before serving.

Chicken stock and cajun seasoning have salt in them so be careful while adding any extra salt. 

Instead of using frozen corn, you can shuck fresh corn.

Adjust the seasonings as per your taste.
