16 - 1/4 cup sour cream

19 - 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
20 - 1/2 tsp garlic salt
21 - 1/4 tsp white pepper
22 - Juice from half a lime (about 1/2 - 1 tbsp)

# Instructions:

01 - Blend mayonnaise, sour cream, basil, cilantro, olive oil, garlic salt, white pepper, and lime juice in a food processor until smooth. Refrigerate if not used within 10 minutes.
02 - Heat extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add sliced sausage and cook for 3 minutes per side. Remove sausage from the skillet.
03 - Preheat grill or skillet to medium heat. Once hot, cook corn cobs for 4 minutes per side. If using an outdoor grill, cook over open flames with the grill lid closed.
04 - In the same skillet without cleaning, add diced red onion and cook for 3-5 minutes until softened.
05 - Add chopped red and orange bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes over medium-high heat to achieve a slight char.
06 - Add zucchini, garlic salt, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and cook for 3-5 minutes, ensuring zucchini touches the skillet bottom to char lightly. Stir regularly to prevent overcooking.
07 - Cut kernels off the cooked corn cobs and add them to the skillet along with the cooked sausage. Sauté for 2 minutes.
08 - Turn off the heat, remove skillet from burner, and let cool for 3 minutes. Add chopped basil and cilantro. Serve with Basil Cilantro Crema, either alone or over rice. Season with additional sea salt and black pepper as desired.
