We fell in love with this delicious corn when we were introduced to it by our good Marine Corps friends in Lafayette, Louisiana while attending a reception. After many disappointing recipes, this is the one I rely on. No one is disappointed when they try this!

This recipe was a winner! The corn maque choux was creamy and flavorful, and the mock shoepeg corn added a nice crunch. It was a great side dish for our grilled chicken and everyone loved it. Highly recommend!

As a vegetarian, I was thrilled to find this mock shoepeg corn recipe. It was a great substitute for the traditional meat-based shoepeg corn and added a delicious flavor to the maque choux. The dish was creamy, flavorful, and very satisfying.
