Preparation

Step 1
To make the shrimp, combine the garlic, jalapenos, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Preheat a grill.
Step 2
To make the ragout, heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the red pepper and corn and cook for 2 minutes. Add the lima beans, tomato and jalapeno, lower the heat and cook for 8 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice, cilantro, salt and pepper. Keep warm.
Step 3
Grill the shrimp until cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Mound the ragout onto the center of 4 plates and surround with the shrimp. Serve immediately.
