Preparation Steps
1
Shuck the fresh corn on the cob, removing the silk. Lightly brush with olive oil.
2
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, then place the corn on the grates. Grill, turning occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, or until all sides are nicely charred.
3
Remove the corn from the grill and let it cool slightly. Then, using a sharp knife, cut the kernels off the cob.
4
Finely chop the red onion and fresh cilantro. In a bowl, combine with the grilled corn kernels.
5
Squeeze the juice from the lime over the corn mixture. Add the BBQ sauce, chili flakes, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well combined.
6
Let it rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve as a side dish or a standalone dish.
