3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, thyme, lime zest, salt, and pepper until well blended.
4. Pour the sauce mixture over the shrimp and peaches in the mixing bowl, stirring gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
5. Spread the shrimp and peaches out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Roast in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through, and the peaches are tender.
7. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve hot, garnished with fresh lime wedges.
