(Use raw corn or grill, boil, or roast the corn as desired.)
Shuck the ears of corn and cut the kernels off the cob into a large bowl. If using raw corn, use the back of the knife to scrape each cob to extract the milk from the cob into the bowl.
Whisk the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Add the corn kernels and toss until well coated.
Just before serving, toss in the fresh basil. Taste and adjust the salt or lemon if needed. Serve warm or at room temperature
