In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat them evenly. Let the shrimp marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare the salad ingredients.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink, opaque, and slightly charred. Remove the shrimp from the grill and set aside.
In a large salad bowl, combine the diced mango, cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, and chopped cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together fresh lime juice, honey, and chili flakes (if using) to create the dressing. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
Arrange the grilled shrimp on top of the salad or mix them in. Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh and flavorful dish!
