Sweet Corn with Habanero Chiles and Lime

Nothing screams summer more than golden kernels of corn with their natural sweetness and succulence. When sweet corn overflows the bins at grocery stores and farmers markets during hot months, this recipe is a perfect accompaniment to the meats from your barbeque. You may very well set the main course aside and dig into this hot and tart sideliner.
