Equipment
- Cast-iron skillet
Ingredients
- 2 cups corn kernels (from 3 cooked ears of corn)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 12 oz cooked sausage (Cajun sausage, andouille, or smoked sausage)
- 1 large red bell pepper, diced
- 1 large zucchini, sliced
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
- Slice the cooked sausage into ½-inch coins and place them into the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes on one side, flip, and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
- Transfer the sausage to a large plate and leave any rendered oil in the skillet.
- Add the diced bell pepper to the skillet and cook for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. If needed, drizzle in a bit more of the reserved sausage oil to prevent sticking.
- Remove the bell pepper from the skillet and place it on the plate with the sausage.
- Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Again, add more oil if needed.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the kernels off the cooked ears of corn.
- Return the cooked sausage, bell pepper, zucchini, and corn to the skillet. Toss to combine evenly.
- Stir in the chili powder and heat on low until warmed through, about 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh cilantro, and serve immediately.
