- Chop bacon and cook in a medium saucepan over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

- Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Stir in the corn, tomatoes, paprika, basil, thyme, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
- Cover the pan and cook for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly softened.
- Uncover the pan and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the corn is heated through and the flavors have melded, stirring frequently.
- Stir in the crumbled bacon and lime juice. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to combine.
