Sprinkle Mama Carol's Seafood Rub and a pinch of ground black pepper over shrimp. Cover shrimp bowl and let seasonings blend in for 15 minutes.
While the shrimp are getting ready slice your onions and garlic. Remove the corn kernels from the Cobb and slice the cherry tomatoes in half. Zest the lime and squeeze the juice for when needed. Slice fresh basil into ribbons. (Chiffonade)
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add grapeseed oil. Once the oil is hot, gently slide the seasoned shrimp into the skillet. Sear on both sides. (About 2 minutes per side. The shrimp will have a light red color when seared.)
Add red onion, garlic and a pinch of red pepper flakes (or two if you like it hotter). Add a pinch of sea salt, and cook until onions have softened. About 3 minutes. (With out a little sea salt the onions will not release their flavor and become sweet and soft.)
Add both the corn and cherry tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes more. Mix in the lime zest and lime juice a tablespoon of water. Cook for 2 minutes more.
Remove skillet from heat and add fresh basil, unsalted butter and a splash of extra virgin olive oil. Mix in gently to combine.
Your final dish will be creamy and fragrant.
