Step 1
Arrange baby corn, broccoli, and carrots in a steamer basket or colander over simmering water. Cover and steam until tender-crisp, 8 minutes.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sauté mushrooms until golden, 2-3 minutes, then remove to a plate.
Step 3
Add minced habanero and garlic to the same skillet, cooking until fragrant, 30 seconds. Pour in canned tomatoes with their juice.
Step 4
Slide shrimp into the sauce, breaking them apart gently. Simmer uncovered until pink throughout, 4-5 minutes.
Step 5
Return mushrooms to the skillet and fold gently. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Step 6
Plate steamed vegetables, spoon shrimp and sauce over top, and serve with lime halves for squeezing.
