Preheat oven at 400.
Place all veggies on a baking sheet & drizzle with olive oil, salt & pepper. Add sliced garlic on top & mix to combine seasonings. Roast at 400 degrees for 25 minutes or until veggies are slightly tender. Next place shrimp on a baking sheet, add olive oil, paprika, salt, pepper, garlic (minced).
