Bring a medium pot of water to boil. Add the frozen shelled edamame and cook for 5 minutes until tender. Drain and pat dry with a paper towel.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray the skillet with olive oil spray.
Add the cooked edamame to the skillet and stir to lightly coat them in the spray.
Sprinkle the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt over the edamame. Stir well to evenly coat the edamame in the spices.
Cook the edamame for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spices are fragrant and the edamame begins to brown slightly.
Remove from heat and transfer the edamame to a bowl. Add the lime zest and squeeze the juice of one lime over the edamame. Toss to combine.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.
