1 pound Large Shrimp, peeled and deveined Fresh or properly thawed frozen shrimp for best flavor.
2 pieces Ripe Peaches, sliced Choose peaches that are slightly firm but give a little when squeezed.
2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil Helps to coat the shrimp and peaches for even roasting.
3 cloves Garlic, minced Adds depth and aroma to the dish.

a pinch Red Pepper Flakes Adjust according to your spice preference.
1/4 cup Fresh Basil, chopped Adds brightness and aromatic qualities to the dish.

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the shrimp thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shrimp, sliced peaches, minced garlic, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper. Toss until well-coated.
Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Sprinkle the red pepper flakes over the shrimp and peaches.
Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until shrimp are pink and opaque, and peaches are slightly caramelized.
Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Chop the fresh basil.
Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped basil.
Serve immediately as a main course or part of a larger spread.
