Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sauté mushrooms until golden, 2-3 minutes, then remove to a plate.

  3. Step 3

    Add minced habanero and garlic to the same skillet, cooking until fragrant, 30 seconds. Pour in canned tomatoes with their juice.

  4. Step 4

    Slide shrimp into the sauce, breaking them apart gently. Simmer uncovered until pink throughout, 4-5 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Return mushrooms to the skillet and fold gently. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

  6. Step 6

    Plate steamed vegetables, spoon shrimp and sauce over top, and serve with lime halves for squeezing.
