Sprinkle chopped garlic with the salt. Use the side of the knife to flatten and press garlic into even smaller pieces and incorporate it with the salt to form a paste. Transfer garlic paste to a bowl. Add vinegar and crushed red pepper; let stand 5 minutes. Add parsley, cilantro and oregano; toss with a fork. Add olive oil in a slow steady stream while whisking constantly. Season to taste with black pepper. (Chimichurri can be stored, covered, in the fridge up to 24 hours.) Using a large, sharp knife, cut each ear of corn into three equal pieces. Insert skewers deeply into the center of each cob piece. Prepare a grill for medium direct heat. Grill skewers, covered, turning often, until corn is tender and slightly charred, 8 to 10 minutes. Place skewers on a serving platter; spoon chimichurri over cobs. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
