Sweet corn chars lightly on the grill beneath a thin garlic-mayo coating, then gets Parmesan, cilantro and a squeeze of lime.

A little mayonnaise helps Grilled Corn with Garlic Mayo and Parmesan brown without drying out. The cheese catches on the warm kernels, making each bite salty, sweet and bright.
