In a medium mixing bowl, combine lime juice, orange juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Add the shrimp to the marinade, toss to coat, cover, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 30 minutes.
While the shrimp marinates, prepare the black bean salsa. In a large bowl, mix black beans, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and corn kernels.
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper for the salsa dressing. Pour over the black bean mixture and toss until well combined. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
To serve, spoon a generous portion of the black bean salsa onto each plate and top with the cooked shrimp.
Garnish with additional chopped cilantro or lime wedges if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
