1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper

1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

8 (6-inch) corn tortillas

1/2 cup diced plum tomato

1 ripe avocado, peeled and roughly mashed

Directions:

1. Combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl; set aside.
2. Combine paprika and next 6 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add shrimp to bag; seal and shake well to coat. Remove shrimp.
3. Heat a grill pan over high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add shrimp; cook 2 minutes per side or until done.
