Fill a large bowl with ice water. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat, and generously salt the water. Add the shrimp and cook for about 4 minutes until pink and cooked through. Drain the shrimp and transfer them to the ice bath. When they are cool, peel and devein the shrimp. Place the shrimp and the corn in a large serving bowl.
While the shrimp are cooling, place the basil, red onion, olive oil, lemon juice mustard, and salt and pepper in a bender or a food processor and process until completely blended. Pour the dressing over the shrimp and corn and toss to combine. Then write me a note and tell me how good it was. No, you don’t have to do that…unless you want to.
Notes
I might also make this with scallops, or a combo of scallops and shrimp, or maybe scallops and shrimp and calamari, maybe a total of 2 pounds of seafood, and then it would really be a robust seafood corn salad.
