While the corn is roasting, add lima beans and water to a saucepan. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce to medium heat and cook the lima beans for 7 minutes. Drain the water and set the lima beans aside.

Chop the onions, shallots, bell peppers, garlic, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Set aside the cherry tomatoes for later.

In a large nonstick skillet, sauté the onions, okra, bell peppers, shallots, and garlic on medium heat for 7 minutes, stirring frequently. Add a splash of water, about 1 tsp, if the pan gets too dry.

Add the roasted corn and cooked lima beans to the sautéed vegetables, and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the halved cherry tomatoes, lime juice, rice vinegar, fresh basil, and smoked paprika.
