Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the shrimp with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. If desired, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for heat.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the red onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.
Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the cooked edamame, corn kernels, and halved cherry tomatoes. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through and slightly tender.
Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to combine with the vegetables.
Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, and basil. Adjust seasoning with the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, or to taste.
Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with additional parsley or a wedge of lemon if desired.
