Shuck the corn and lightly brush with olive oil.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the corn on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly charred on all sides, about 10 minutes.
Remove the corn from the grill and let it cool slightly. Then, using a sharp knife, cut the kernels off the cob.
Finely chop the red onion and garlic. In a large bowl, combine the grilled corn, red onion, and garlic.
Squeeze the lime juice over the mixture. Add the BBQ sauce, smoked paprika, chili flakes, salt, and pepper.
Add the toasted pumpkin seeds to the salad and toss to combine, ensuring the flavors are well distributed.
Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and let it sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving as a side dish or a light meal.
