In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the lime juice, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes ā no longer, as the lime juice will begin to denature the proteins.
