  2. Whisk all the ingredients together in a small bowl until emulsified and well-combined; set aside.
  3. Make the Salad:
  4. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 400°F. Lightly coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside.
  5. Pat the shrimp dry and place on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with the cumin, chili powder, salt, and a few grinds of black pepper and stir to coat. Spread into an even layer. Roast until the shrimp are opaque and pink, stirring once halfway through 6 to 8 minutes total. Drizzle the cooked shrimp with the lime juice and toss to combine; set aside.
