For a smoky flavor, grill the corn on the cob before removing the kernels. Adjust the amount of jalapeño to control the heat level. A squeeze of lime just before serving brightens the flavors even more. This skillet is best served fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
