Corn Maque Choux / Emeril Lagasse

Another Corn dish, just can't get enough. There are many recipes for this Cajun dish. I like this one the best. I've tried to find a translation. I speak French and I know that Choux is Cabbage, I have no idea what Maque means or what Cabbage has to do with a Corn dish, oh well, it looks good! This recipe comes from Emeril Lagasse.

4 C corn (6 ears)
1 C diced onion
1 C diced red pepper
1 TBS minced jalapeno
2 tsp Cajun Spice (recipe to follow)

Melt butter
Reduce heat to medium
Add:
corn
onion

Cajun Seasoning:

2 1/2 TBS paprika

2 TBS salt

2 TBS garlic powder

1 TBS onion powder

1 TBS cayenne pepper
