Cajun Corn
Corn "The Man Vegetable". What better way than to make it Cajun? Using Fresh Corn, that I've cut off the cob was amazingly different as opposed to using canned of frozen corn. And, it wasn't much more effort when making this Cajun Corn recipe..The Thai, Bird's Beak Pepper is really hot. During the winter, I keep a jar of pickled peppers in my frig. for easy use. But, during the summer, I'll have fresh ones from "Charlie Pepper". It's the one vegetable plant that I grow on the boat. It was a going away present from a friend named Charlie when I left Daytona 10 years ago. I've been saving the seed and re-planting every year since I got back to Charleston. It really makes kicks up the Cajun spice flavor.
Of course, being a "Man Vegetable", Cajun Corn should be served with other "Man" food, like Steakhouse Grilled, London Broil, or Cajun Grilled, London Broil, and a baked potato. Life IS good!

Cajun Corn
Unless you've made a REAL LARGE BATCH of this, I don't expect you'll have any leftovers. But, if you do, they'll easily re-heat on the stove, or microwave with just a little bit of water.
