Cut kernels off corn and mix in bowl with shrimp, fennel and bell peppers. Refrigerate until ready to eat.
For chimichurri, combine cilantro, parsley, 1/4 cup oil, vinegar, chili flakes and garlic in blender or food processor and pulse until combined but a bit chunky; season with pinch salt. Refrigerate chimichurri overnight; before eating or taking to go, fold into corn and shrimp salad.
