Cuban Style Corn

This is one of our family's favorite way to jazz up corn- it is so vibrant and flavorful and comes together quickly and easily.  I've served it at several family reunions and never have leftovers- even my 90 year old great-aunt said that it was one of the best ways she'd ever had corn!
