Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season them with sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika, tossing gently to coat evenly.
Tip: Dry shrimp ensures better browning and caramelization during roasting.
- 2
Spread olive oil on a large rimmed baking sheet and arrange the corn, bell pepper, and red onion in a single layer. Roast for 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften slightly.
Tip: Pre-roasting vegetables helps them cook through while shrimp stays tender.
- 3
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and create space in the center. Add the seasoned shrimp and scatter minced garlic over everything.
Tip: Placing shrimp in the center prevents them from getting lost among vegetables.
- 4
Dot the surface with butter pieces and return to the oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until shrimp are pink and cooked through.
Tip: Shrimp cook quickly, so watch carefully to avoid overcooking.
- 5
Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with fresh lime juice and sprinkle lime zest over the entire dish for brightness.
Tip: Adding citrus at the end preserves the fresh, vibrant flavor.
- 6
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, then transfer to a serving platter and garnish generously with fresh cilantro before serving.
Tip: Cilantro adds a fresh herbaceous note that complements the butter and lime beautifully.

My go to drink for summer gatherings is this refreshing Beergarita, and let me tell you, it's a total crowd pleaser. The combination of tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice, and a cold Corona creates something that tastes way more complicated than it actually is. Lime juice is packed with vitamin C, which is great for your immune system, and the whole thing takes just five minutes to throw together. Best part? It's incredibly budget friendly since you're probably already stocking most of these ingredients anyway.
