Spicy Shrimp with Lime and Cilantro

This one had been ripped out and put in my folder of "must-tries" for so long!  
Glad I finally tried it.  Made in minutes!

Ingredients:
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, or 1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/4 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined 
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
chopped cilantro
lime wedges
toasted naan
plain greek yogurt (optional)

Directions:
1. Combine salt, paprika, cumin, curry powder, cayenne, and cinnamon.  Sprinkle over shrimp and toss to combine.

2. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat.  Add shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally until opaque throughout, 3-5 minutes.  

3. Serve shrimp with cilantro, lime wedges, naan, and yogurt if desired.
