To prepare the shrimp, start by deveining and peeling them.
Mix your smoked paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano (the secret ingrdient!), and chili powder and add a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Toss your cleaned shrimp in the spice mixture.
In a large skillet, heat some olive oil or cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp to the pan and sauté for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through.
Next, finely chop the cilantro, slice the limes and lemons into wedges and peel and slice your avocado. Set aside.
Once the shrimp are cooked, remove them from the heat and transfer them to a serving dish. Garnish with the chopped cilantro, avocado, lemon and lime wedges.
I personally love serving this dish on a large platter, however you could also consider serving it as individual portions.
