Pre-heat your grill at medium heat.
Take out the silks and most of the husks layers, leaving one or two on the cob.
Place the prepared corn directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 30-45 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels are tender and charred in some spots.
When they are done very carefully, take out the burnt husks and let cobs cool down for a little bit. In a bowl strip the kernels.

Add mayonnaise, sour cream, freshly squeezed key lime juice, sea salt and stir to thoroughly combine.
