Instructions
Prepare the shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel. In a large bowl, mix the chili powder, paprika, salt, and cayenne. Add shrimp and toss to coat evenly.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray. Add shrimp in a single layer and sauté for 1-2 minutes per side until cooked through. Remove from heat and cut into bite-size pieces. Refrigerate to cool completely.
Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine cooled shrimp, mango, avocado, red onion, jalapeno, and cilantro. Drizzle with lime juice and toss to mix well.
Serve chilled or at room temperature with tortilla chips.
