prefer mine with no cream and use corn off the cob. That way you can scrape all the corn milk out. I'm also a simple man and use corn, belle pepper, and onion and cook it with bacon fat. That said, yours look delicious. IWEI.

I also use bacon fat, but I do add a little cream if needed, if I get fairly dry corn. Sometimes the wife likes to add grilled chicken and eat it with pasta, so I can add cream late for a little sauce

this. the way my family makes maque choux, you really need to caramelize the corn in a iron skillet first. you can't get the required caramelization, and subsequently flavor, from canned or frozen corn. we've tried; it just doesn't work. you have to have fresh cut corn.

with that said, the OP's dish looks great. i'd eat it, for sure.
