Steps:
- Whisk together the cilantro, yogurt, lime zest and juice, 1 teaspoon water and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- Pat the corn dry with paper towels and toss with the chili powder and garlic in a medium bowl. Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the foam subsides, add the corn and cook undisturbed until it starts to brown slightly in some spots, about 2 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring, until warmed through, about 3 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the lime-yogurt mixture, 3 tablespoons of the Parmesan and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Transfer to a serving dish and top with cilantro, the remaining 1 tablespoon Parmesan and a sprinkle of chili powder.

Tips:
- For maximum flavor, use fresh pork shoulder or tenderloin. Pork butt can also be used, but it will require longer cooking time.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of chili powder and lime juice to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
- Be sure to cook the pork until it is tender and juicy. Overcooked pork will be dry and tough.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the pork in a skillet over medium heat.
- The corn salad is a great way to add some freshness and crunch to the dish. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn.
Conclusion:
Chili lime pork with corn salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or potluck. The pork is tender and juicy, with a slightly spicy and tangy flavor. The corn salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that complements the pork perfectly. This dish is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
