Steps

Proceed to grill the corn until evenly charred, which should take around 5 minutes until it turns dark brown and becomes tender. After grilling, allow the corn to cool before cutting off the kernels from the cobs. Add these kernels to the bowl with lime segments and mix thoroughly. Finally, distribute this flavorful mixture among individual serving dishes for presentation.
