1
Preheat the grill to medium (about 400°F).

Rub corn with 1 tsp olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt & cracked black pepper.
3
Grill corn for 7 minutes, turning every few minutes, until ear is lightly browned.
4
Remove from grill and let cool. Carefully cut corn kernels from the cob and transfer to a bowl.

In a medium saucepan, bring water and milk to a boil. Whisk in grits, then cover, reduce heat to low and simmer. Uncover and stir every few minutes until grits are thickened and creamy, about 15-20 minutes.

Remove grits from heat and fold in corn and garlic powder using a rubber spatula. Top with Ricotta, basil leaves, and drizzle with remaining olive oil. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.
