1 tsp. smoked paprika

INSTRUCTIONS
Pat shrimp dry with a paper towel and place in a large bowl. Add 1 Tbsp. olive oil, shallots, chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and salt; mix to combine. Let stand for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare Avocado-Mango Salsa by combining mango, avocado, jalapeño, cilantro, and the zest and juice of 1 lime; stir to combine. Season with a pinch of salt. 

Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Once hot, add shrimp mixture and arrange in a single layer. Cook shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until the shrimp is no longer opaque. Transfer to a clean bowl or plate. Remove tails.
