Instructions
- 1
In a medium bowl, combine the chipotle chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, lime zest, 3 tbsp lime juice, and 1 tbsp of the avocado oil. Add the shrimp and toss until evenly coated. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes — no longer, as the acid will begin to denature the shrimp.

While the shrimp marinates, combine the mango, avocado, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, 1 tbsp lime juice, and 1/4 tsp salt in a bowl. Toss gently and set aside.
