1. Heat half the butter in a large heavy-based saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 3 minutes each side or until golden. Transfer to a plate.
2. Add the chorizo to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, or until golden. Transfer to the plate with the chicken.
3. Heat remaining butter in pan. Add the capsicum and celery and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until the vegetables start to soften. Add the flour, tomato paste and Cajun seasoning and cook for 1 minute.
4. Use a small sharp knife to cut down the length of the corncobs to remove kernels. Add stock, corn, chicken and chorizo to pan. Stir to combine. Increase heat to high. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until the mixture reduces slightly. Season with pepper. Top with parsley and shallot. Serve with rice.
