Corn on the cob with cotija and cayenne

6 ears of fresh picked corn on the cob, husked
1 lime halved
1/2 teaspoon mayonnaise
1 cup finely grated cotija cheese we used mozzarella because we couldn't find this cheese delicious
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt

1. Heat a large pot of water over high heat and bring to a boil. Add a few dashes of salt. Cook corn until it turns bright golden and is just cooked through, but still plump, about 6 minutes

2. Remove from the heat with tongs. Juice half the lime  and stir the lime juice  and stir the lime juice into the mayonnaise in a small bowl.

3. To serve , slather the corn pieces with lime mayonnaise and sprinkle all over with cheese. Sprinkle to taste with salt, black and cayenne peppers serve warm
