Step 1

Cut pork into bite-size cubes; place in zip-top bag (wash hands). Add to zip-top bag: 1 tablespoon garlic, 1 tablespoon ginger, 2 tablespoons oil, smoked paprika, and 1 teaspoon salt; toss to coat. Let stand to marinate.

Step 2

Preheat grill (or grill pan). Remove husks and silk from corn. Place corn in microwave-safe bowl; cover and microwave on HIGH for 8 minutes. Meanwhile, crumble queso fresco, squeeze limes for juice (2 tablespoons), and chop jalapeños (remove seeds and membrane, if desired).

Step 3

Thread pork onto skewers (wash hands). Coat corn with 1 tablespoon oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Grill pork and corn 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, or until corn is tender and pork is 145°F.

Step 4

Place basil leaves, cilantro, jalapeños, 2 tablespoons queso fresco, mayonnaise, lime juice, water, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, 4 tablespoons oil, and 1 tablespoon each garlic and ginger in blender (or food processor); blend until smooth.

Step 5

Remove skewers from pork. Drizzle about 2 tablespoons Ají Verde over each ear of corn; top with remaining 6 tablespoons queso fresco. Serve pork with remaining Ají Verde and corn.
