Step 1

Break each ear of corn in half; place flat end on cutting board and using a sharp paring knife, slice kernels off cob (to watch a video of this technique, click here). Place kernels in a medium bowl; add scallion, jalapeno, red pepper flakes, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate if not using right away.
